3:23 AM – This Red-bellied Woodpecker appears to be a young (immature) one, as indicated by the gray (instead of red) head, and not a molting one. This is the first of these we’ve seen.
Most of the Grackles have moved on, but there are two or three that still show up at the feeders. We can live with that, since they don’t consume any more than the doves or blue jays etc. It’s only when the numbers get out of control that we try to move them on.
None of these bluebirds at the mealworm feeder are fully grown, judging by the various immature plumage on them. At this point we’ve lost track of the generations.
