5:01 AM – Another Retro-Sunday.
At the time this was recorded, March 22, 2017, I didn’t realize that a molting bird can lose his tail feathers. This Carolina Wren was not the victim of anything as dramatic as a last second escape from a pouncing cat. Probably.
Here’s one from March 21, 2017 of a bluebird at the ‘suet’ feeder. That’s actually compressed seeds, not suet, but we got used to calling it suet because it’s served in the suet cage. The bluebird seems to like it just fine.
We like this one because of the squirrels panicked expression. It’s a joke because we never made a serious try to hurt one. Even when we used the slingshot and a steel ball bearing, the shot was so weak (on purpose) it just bounced off a squirrels back – he didn’t even move, just sat there until he was ready to scamper off. From March, 28, 2017.
