3:48 AM – More bluebirds. For some reason they were absent from the mealworm feeder for a day – we had no videos at all of them. The next day, though, they were back. Where were they? No one knows.

We’re gradually starting to identify each Blue Jay – we’re not sure how many, but we’ll eventually have a pretty good count. This one is recognizable by the two vivid white patches on his lower back, one above the other. His ‘collar’, the black marking around his neck is lower than most of the others, and his face markings are not strong, just a relatively faint line across the eyes and a black bar between the eyes. He also seems to be molting, but that’s another story. We need to find out of the markings change from molting to molting – just one more fact about birds we don’t know – yet.
