2:36 AM – The Purple Finch versus Cardinal situation on the Squirrel Buster feeder continues. Recently the Cardinal sent the Finch packing. This time it’s different. I guess the Finch is just tired of being pushed around. Or maybe it’s a different Finch and Cardinal.

Brown Thrasher on the platform feeder, just after an all-day rain. We like these birds. In this part of the country (Central Alabama) they are year-round residents.
