3:16 AM – The birds (and squirrels) are getting tamer. Here I am with a Mockingbird, and a Tufted Titmouse (briefly). Sometimes we see, up close, the small ‘darter’ birds that fly in, grab a seed and fly out, like the Chickadees and Nuthatches, but those that stay a few minutes are rare.
This Downy Woodpecker is an enthusiastic eater.
One more Downy Woodpecker video, this one of a male sideways on the cylinder of compressed seed. That doesn’t stop him from eating his fill.
