Lots of birds arrived at breakfast while my fingers were sticky. I think one was a brown thrasher but I didn't see it again. The first one that I caught on camera was a white breasted nuthatch. White throats were everywhere, on the ground, on the feeders, in the pool puddle. A myrtle warbler also looked for a drink there. Bluebirds defaulted to seeds because starlings emptied the suet and barkbutter. A titmouse investigated the empty dish feeder. The male red belly ate seeds. I put some mealworms out hoping the starlings would be less interested. A crow didn't see anything worth its time.
Azalea buds began to open as the day warmed up. A pine warbler foraged for fallen food. A chipping sparrow made a brief visit. The mockingbird pair discussed the menu and decided on jelly. Cardinals were courting. A brown headed nuthatch tried to grab a seed. When I put out more barkbutter balls, blue jays showed up immediately. Bluebirds and white throats were right behind.
