1:00 AM – Unexpected Retro!! This one from two years ago, Monday, 7.17.2017.

5:30 AM – This Cardinal is right in the middle of a serious head-molting. My question is, is this the same one we saw with a naked head several days ago, or is it a different cardinal. We saw a cardinal whose head was almost completely recovered, but this bare patches on his back. I know we have at least two males, maybe more, and I can’t really tell them apart. I need to get out the binoculars and really look at them. Maybe capture and tag them. Maybe not.

The camera we had on the seed cylinder has been taken down.  Some critter has kicked the camera off it’s vertical axis, as this video of a squirrel feeding illustrates. And it’s not the first time. When we get the “pepper” cylinder up, we’ll restore the camera
