Today was sunny with typical winter temperatures. I've now collected 15 years of observations but I've really no idea if they are useful beyond my own interest. I have certainly learned a lot more about what lives around me. I've gone through several cameras and maybe gotten better at photography. Some species seem to have increased and others decreased but that may just be the small sample size. 2025 rainfall was down 6.5 inches from the average of 49 inches, but the average was adjusted higher a few years ago.
A pelican cruised over the creek at breakfast. I noticed the dish feeder was empty and filled it with mealworms. A white throat was not pleased. Blue jays would have preferred barkbutter balls but ate anyway. A mockingbird was enthusiastic, as were bluebirds and pine warblers. Carolina wrens shopped around. The red belly stayed with the suet. A couple of goldfinches poked at the birdbath.
