Migrants and homebodies

Clouds streaked the sky and the temperature was well above freezing.  An oriole came for breakfast.  So did pine warblers, bluebirds, white throats, and a Carolina wren.  A goldfinch considered the food and just drank water.  The dredge chugged up to the bend below the dam.  A red bellied woodpecker tried the suet and the jelly.  Juncos prospected on the patio and one argued with a cardinal about the feeder.  An orange crowned warbler also poked at the suet before turning to the jelly.  A white breasted nuthatch and a pine warbler both claimed the suet.  

A squirrel peeled a moonflower pod right in front of me.  It didn't seem pleased with the result.  Those seeds are hard.
