Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Warmer
Again, a sunny morning was reflected in the placid creek, but later the day turned cloudy. Blue jays and pine warblers got excited about the barkbutter balls. White throats pursued breakfast everywhere. A female oriole tried the suet. Brown headed nuthatches sneaked past the other seed eaters. Turkey vultures continued to circle over the creek. A Carolina wren found crumbs in the barkbutter dish. Three starlings were disappointed. At lunch, the female pileated demolished suet. A mourning dove roamed the mulch. A warbler and a wren had a stare-off over the suet. Pelicans were thick - I saw three in the air at once. After I refilled the barkbutter dish, a myrtle warbler had some. Blue jays came back. Bluebirds also showed up. The red bellied woodpecker landed on the post but then froze as though sensing a predator. The house finches on the seed feeder did the same.
