1:00 AM – The platform feeder is back on the deck, and the squirrels have been camped out in it. Here’s an enthusiastic eater.
Next, a Brown Thrasher stops by for a snack.

1:00 AM – Here’s what happened to the mealworm feeder we placed on the rail. Exactly what you’d expect to happen:
The Brown Thrasher has been around the last few days. Actually, he’s here quite often, but not every day, like the Cardinals.
The Goldfinches are still here:

1:00 AM – Blue Jay on the platform feeder. This is the only place the Jays feed, unlike the Cardinals and other birds.
The Brown Thrashers are around all the time these days, so we’re showing a lot more videos of them than before. We can’t tell if it’s just one, or a whole flock. If it’s more than one, they’re pretty much identical. If it’s just one, it’s the cleanest bird in the yard – he baths a couple of times a day, and for a long time.

1:00 AM – Another visit from one of the raccoons. He doesn’t find anything he likes in the platform feeder, and moves on.
Another Brown Thrasher bathing.
And a Thrasher eating. They really are very handsome birds.

1:00 AM – The Red-bellied Woodpecker is now a regular at the mealworm feeder. In this video he’s clearly enjoying the worms. It occurs to me that the mealworm feeder would be the perfect place for old, worn out woodpeckers, with arthritic beaks.
Brown Thrasher on the platform feeder:
Carolina Wren eating and posing. Note the black cat lying crouched on the path in the background. His yellow eyes are glued to the Wren, and he doesn’t move a muscle.

Blue Jay eating on the platform feeder:
Another video of the Brown Thrasher bathing:

1:00 AM – Acrobatic Red-bellied Woodpecker on the mealworm feeder. We see him there a lot lately.
This Brown Thrasher – one of our favorites – is feeding, when something catches his attention. Whatever it is, he’s taking it seriously, keeping a close eye on it.
We see the Brown Thrasher on the platform feeder, followed by a Cardinal couple.

1:00 AM – Typical scene from the feeders – a Cardinal eating and chirping.
Brown Thrasher taking a bath. Too bad the quality of the video isn’t better, what with the action freezing occasionally.
Cute little Chickadee drinking.

1:00 AM – The Indigo Buntings are beautiful little birds, but they’re not sissies. Here’s one attacking a Purple Finch and his date.
More Bunting Finch conflict. In this one the birds go back and forth, harassing each other. Watch for the Indigo surprise attack on the Finch near the end of the video.
And, for a change from Indigo Buntings, here are a couple of non-Buntings on the platform feeder – a Red-bellied Woodpecker and a Brown Thrasher, one of our favorites.
