Overnight rain continued into the morning and gradually became mist. The temperature slowly dropped all day. A flurry of birds arrived early but found nothing but seeds. Even the suet was gone to the consternation of downy, red bellied and pileated woodpeckers. I saw pelicans and a bufflehead on the creek. A white breasted nuthatch was content with seeds. Three juncos also ate seeds. So did bluebirds. Sparrows and warblers foraged on the ground. A mockingbird gave up.
At lunch, a Carolina wren settled for seeds. By late afternoon the mist was becoming fog. A pair of buffleheads were the lone occupants of the creek.
