Sunshine lit up the creek. Today the birds were lively. White throats and maybe more than one song sparrow foraged. A brown thrasher visited early. The warmth was stimulating leafing out on many of the trees. Hyacinths sent up blooms and the first dogwood buds opened. Oak flowers began to grow.
A white throat ate mealworms but I don't think it liked them very much. A bluebird tossed them out of the dish. A myrtle warbler scampered around looking for fallen food. In the late afternoon I tried to seduce a squirrel with peanut fragments. Meanwhile a downy fussed because it wanted suet and thought I was too close. A mockingbird found the mealworms in the glass dish. A wasp discovered the jelly. Two cedar waxwings landed in the oak! The day's high temperature set another record.
