2:41 AM – Now that we have the camera pointed at the mealworm feeder we’re getting lots of video of the bluebirds. In this one, it’s a couple of adults, but there are a lot of juveniles around too (video of them to come soon).

Here we have Mrs. Cardinal – looking good in richly colored brown feathers – displaced by Mr. Cardinal. A Carolina Chickadee shares the feeder for a little bit. That loud noise that startles Mr. Cardinal, and makes him so vigilant, is a hickory nut hitting the deck.
