7:31 AM – This is a new one for us, a bald-headed Blue Jay. No feathers, no crest. Presumably, he’s molting.
Yesterday we had a clip of a bluebird declining to eat from the suet cylinder. Later, after the cylinder had been pecked at a good bit, and there were crumbs in the tray, it was a different story. Evidently the bluebird does like suet, he just doesn’t want to peck it out of the cylinder.
It looks like we have a third generation of bluebirds in the yard. The one on the right still has trouble perching, and his feathers don’t have much color. The other one is either first or second generation, it’s getting hard to tell them apart.
