1:00 AM – Brown Thrasher manages an underwater meal. Then we have the Chickadee and ever-present Cardinal.
Here’s a Dove and Cardinal sharing the platform feeder. We put the green mesh one up again – the birds seem to prefer it.

1:00 AM – In the first part of this video, this Carolina Chickadee is enthusiastically eating. In the second part, he’s plucking mealworms out of the feeder and throwing them down to the ground. I don’t think there was a Chickadee down there, so why he’s doing it is a mystery.
Very short video of a Downy Woodpecker on the mealworm feeder:

1:00 AM – We’re seeing some Rose Breasted Grosbeaks around the yard. The brownish yellow ones, with plenty of stripes, are females. The ones with black patches on their wings, and slightly rosy breasts, are immature males. We haven’t seen any adult males yet. It’s easy to recognize them, due to the vivid, distinct coloring.
Busy time at the feeder. The visitors include Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmouse, Cardinal, White Breasted Nuthatch and probably more that I missed.
