Still pleasant

Today I learned there's a bill in the General Assembly to establish a Virginia Fungi Task Force.  Also proposed is a state mycologist. The same article told me that the split gill fungus has 28,000 sexes.  Politics can be educational.  A mockingbird paid an early visit.  Then  a crow arrived.  A Carolina wren bounced around.  White throats were hungry.  Brown headed nuthatches found seeds they liked.  A goldfinch was more picky.  Bluebirds enjoyed the barkbutter balls as did a myrtle warbler.  The song sparrow was back.  Blue jays too.  

The scarred squirrel got into the mealworms.  A brown thrasher had some as well.  Pine warblers sampled everything.  The female oriole came by for a drink.  The male red belly chose seeds but the female pileated wanted suet.
