Birds were thick at breakfast. The glass dish full of barkbutter balls hosted titmice, bluebirds, blue jays, Carolina wrens, pine warblers and a white breasted nuthatch. However, a brown headed nuthatch cared only for seeds which those pesky house finches wouldn't share. It drove the nuthatch to drink. A couple of juncos foraged on the ground and tried the seed feeder. A yellow rumped warbler poked through the dead vegetation. A male red bellied woodpecker on the suet flaunted his red belly.
The dredge was back at work disturbing the creek. Squirrels played follow-the-leader from tree to tree and across the bouncy pool cover. Not all the squirrels were willing to leap from redwood to hickory. Both kinds of nuthatch were back for lunch. The day was sunny and seasonable. At sunset, which came all too soon, clouds of cormorants swirled and headed every which way.
