12:03 AM – Blue Jays at the platform feeder.

This Yellow-rumped Warbler has very distinct and attractive markings. The Cornell Lab website says this is the usual Spring/Summer plumage for the male. Since we’ve only been watching the backyard birds since this past Winter we’re used to seeing these warblers in their drab cold weather uniforms.

We thought there were only three immature bluebirds, but this video shows, for a brief moment, four of them.

Last vidoe: a cat at the birdbath. We see more of them at night, but this one was on a daytime scouting mission.
