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

March wind
A white throat started the day with barkbutter balls. A blue jay was next, then a Carolina wren. And then the voracious starlings showed up. The wren moved over to the suet. Chilly and gusty wind didn't discourage the starlings, alas. Eight or ten of them
attacked the suet, the barkbutter balls, and each other. White throats ate what fell. Cardinals courted, doves foraged, and orioles ate jelly. Some of the white throats were a molting mess. The pine warbler was back for more suet. A downy ate seeds as did bluebirds. A myrtle warbler also indulged in jelly. The suet nearly disappeared during the day but a wren found a few bites. Lots of money plant flowers opened so that's something for hungry nectar feeders.
