4:58 AM – It’s that time of the year again. These Cardinals are sharing food. According to online experts, that’s usually a sign of mating, or having youngsters. It’s been a while since we saw this.
This Blue Jay hung around the platform feeder for a long time for a bird – almost five minutes. This clip starts with a standard view, then accelerates to show several minutes in about 20 seconds. Something different.

1:00 AM – More battling Finches, until a Cardinal comes along and disperses them. After a few minutes, they come back, meek and mild, no squabbling.

1:00 AM – Here’s some platform feeder drama. We start with a Brown Thrasher running off a Blue Jay. It took just seconds, so it’s shown in slow motion. After the Thrasher loses interest, the Doves move in. Notice the Blue Jay coming back to see if he coast is clear. I used to think Jays were tough and aggressive, but not anymore. Finally, stay tuned, and turn your volume on, to see a Dove swelling his chest to call.
Dark-eyed Junco scratching through the empty husks.
Finally, a Cardinal having breakfast in the dark. The video was taken at 6:41 AM, just before light.

1:00 AM – We saw Cardinals on the cylinder feeder several times today. Not sure why, since they usually stick to the platform. But every now and then they show up here, or on the mealworm feeder. Maybe they just like to go out to dinner every now and then.

Another video of a busy Chickadee on the cylinder feeder.

1:00 AM – Unusual video of this Cardinals crest going full punk.
Short clip of a Tufted Titmouse on the compressed seed cylinder. We see these birds frequently, but for some reason don’t post many videos of them.
Something really different: Squirrel Tail.

1:00 AM – Cardinal snacking on mealworms.
The Eastern Phoebe’s stick to the mealworm feeder, pretty much. And, we only see them every now and then, unlike the Bluebirds, Cardinals etc. So, here’s a couple of short videos.
Here’s a Pine Warbler. It looks a lot like the Yellow Warbler, except for the distinctive markings on the wings.

1:00 AM – A nice variety of traffic on the platform. Red-bellied Woodpecker and Cardinal, then a Blue Jay, all nice big colorful birds.
Here’s the large and small on the compressed seed cylinder. A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and a Carolina Chickadee.
Mockingbird having a mealworm snack.

1:00 AM – We’ll start with this Mockingbird scattering the Bluebirds on the mealworm feeder. The Mockingbird is a regular visitor to the worm feeder. We see many different kind of birds eating mealworms, some more often than others.
Cardinal and Bluebird eyeing each other on the mealworm feeder. I like the way the Cardinal peaks around the feeder.
Finally, this Bluebird is included because he’s so intensely blue.
