5:15 AM – Last night’s midnight visitor: one of our neighborhood cats at the birdbath.

A female Downy Woodpecker having a run at the suet feeder. These guys feed all day long, though one bird website says wild birds only get 25% of their food from backyard feeders. Hard to believe with some of these constant feeders, but it’s true we do see the woodpeckers looking for insect on the trees.
