1:00 AM – Blue Jay acrobatics – one hits the rail on both claws and bounces over another. In slow-motion. At the end of the clip, we get a bonus squirrel:
Like the video of Bruno and a Towhee from a few days ago, here’s one of a Towhee and Mazy:

1:00 AM – Eastern Towhee feeding – watch of Bruno in the background, making an unscheduled visit.

1:00 AM – Lately the squirrels have become more aggressive. Presumably it is mating season, or maybe this generation of the pests is just irritable. The attack is in slow motion, but the little beasts move so fast it only lasts a fraction of a second:
More Blue Jay activity. The peanuts really attracted them, but they’ll eat seeds too.
Here’s a drab looking female Purple Finch:
