1:00 AM – Young Cardinal goes for peanuts.
Here’s the Eastern Towhee version of a bird going for peanuts:

Here’s the Eastern Towhee version of a bird going for peanuts:
House finch:
1:00 AM – Mother Cardinal and a young one scratching up dinner.
Raccoon trying to get seed from the Squirrel Buster, and washing his paws.
One more Eastern Towhee:
1:00 AM – Midnight Possum returns:
After the Finch in the foreground gets a drink and flies away, you can see Finches and a Cardinal squabbling on the feeder.
1:00 AM – Video from the Tree Cam of two Finches feeding and squabbling.
Cardinal drinks while Finches feed in the background. Something for everyone.
One more Eastern Towhee video:
1:00 AM – A Cardinal drinking.
Various birds ground feeding, including a Wren, a Brown Thrasher and a Robin.
White Breasted Nuthatch and Purple Finch in the Squirrel Buster.
1:00 AM – Squirrel foraging on the ground for seed spilled from the Squirrel Buster.
Mrs. Cardinal havingĀ a snack under the feeder.
Ground Squirrel joining the party under the Squirrel Buster
1:00 AM – Video from the Ground Cam – two Cardinals sharing, and Mrs. C foraging in the underbrush.
There is a young Cardinal living in the yard, as we suspected. Here he/she is signalling for food, which Mr. Cardinal provides.
1:00 AM – This Carolina Wren, with it’s somewhat indistinct markings and fluffy/fuzzy look, might be an immature one. One way or another, he knows how to take a bird bath.
It was a big day for Wrens – here’s three of them on the Squirrel Buster.
This looks like an immature Cardinal, being feed by an adult male, but the camera angle is such that we can’t be sure.
1:00 AM – Here’s Mazy heading down the trail in what looks like a blizzard. But what kind of blizzard? Not snow, of course, but it seems to be insects. Maybe it was rain, but I don’t think so. It’s creepy. No one likes a suffocating insect blizzard.
We have cameras in a new location. The one at theĀ bottom of the tree, aimed at the ground where seed falls from the Squirrelbuster, caught these Cardinals feeding and sharing food.
In this one, Finches seem to have adapted well to the new location of the Squirrelbuster.
1:00 AM – More Trail Cam action, this time a nice looking cat. There was also video of that possum heading down the path, but since it was identical to the one posted a few days ago, I didn’t download it. The possum is a creature of habit, as everyone knows.
Finch, Cardinal and Chickadee on the Squirrel Buster (in it’s old location).
