1:00 AM – Here’s a good video of Mr. Cardinal bathing. He’s really thorough, and seems to be enjoying himself. Maybe not. It’s hard to tell bird emotions.
Something unusual – three birds of different species drinking at the same time. As I watched, I expected to see a fight break out, but nothing happened. Maybe the abundance of food and water here has made the birds more agreeable.
The first part of this video is in slow motion, showing a squirrel with his paws in the water, before scampering off. The second part shows a squirrel (possibly the same one) getting a dainty drink of water.
