1:00 AM – More Red-wing video, this one of a Red-wing eating and being vigilant at the same time. Always a good idea now that we’re having a plague of cats:

1:00 AM – This looks like a young Carolina Wren. He looks very nervous, and alert.
This Red-wing is happy eating peanuts, but pay attention to the background. There’s a cat approaching, I think it’s the big brindle. This time, it has a happy ending – the Red-wing eats some more and flies off. This time.
Plenty of Blue Jays around these days. It’s the peanuts.

1:00 AM – Blue Jays love peanuts. These two are stuffing them into their beaks as fast as they can.
Red-winged Blackbird (a female). Not sure how much longer these blackbirds will be around.
Why can’t we all just get along?

1:00 AM – We see more Blue Jays recently, probably due to the peanuts.
This is a slow motion video of a Cardinal attacking a Titmouse. My favorite part is after the incident, when the Cardinal struts around, daring the Titmouse to come back.
