3:01 AM – Here’s a Cardinal flapping his wings and quivering. He can’t be too distressed – he keeps eating all through the performance. Presumably he’s displaying to some bird we can’t see in the video.

Activity at the mealworm feeder. Carolina Chickadees are regulars there, but they are usually hit-and-run feeders, picking up a mealworm and flying off. In this case, the Chickadee stays around for a while and eats on site. Next, the Carolina Wren stabs at the worms so fast it’s hard to tell if he’s eating them, or just knocking them down on the ground. A slow motion view (not shown) revealed that he’s doing both.
