1:00 AM – Thirsty cat doesn’t mind the dirty water.
Finch and a Chickadee share the Squirrel Buster.

1:00 AM – Sparrow on the plank.
Chickadee on the feeder:
1:00 AM – Finch and Chickadee taking turns on the cylinder feeder:
If you ever wondered what Mazy does after a wallow, now you know.
1:00 AM – Tufted Titmouse and Chickadee squabbling on the cylinder feeder:
A couple of ground feeders – Eastern Towhee and Finch.
1:00 AM – We relocated the cylinder feeder further out in the yard. So far, we’ve seen a lot of Finch and Chickadee activity:
Mazy dining in elegance:
A possum like fine things too:
1:00 AM – A Nuthatch and Chickadee on the Squirrel Buster in it’s new location. The Nuthatch is the bird on the right, without the black cap markings covering his eyes.
Most of the traffic at the birdbath these days is Squirrels and Doves. We don’t know where the other birds went, there was a much greater variety last summer. Was it something we said?
We did have a visit from a House Finch on the new Squirrel Buster location. Maybe a Purple Finch. Colors are hard.
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).
1:00 AM – Goldfinch, probably a female, or a non-breeding male. This bird doesn’t have the black head markings of the breeding male, but it’s not as drab as the non-breeders are supposed to be. The ‘finch’ beak, which looks like a smaller version of the Cardinal beak, isn’t found on the Warblers – which resemble the Goldfinches. Not sure what it is, but I’ll call it a female, or possibly a non-breeding male.
Tufted Titmouse and Chickadee on the Squirrel Buster. These guys, along with the Cardinals (and Squirrels) are the most common visitors.
One more of Mazy chilling out in the pool,
1:00 AM – Very short video of a Chickadee that seems to be curious about the camera:
Mazy night swim:
Another video of a Red-bellied Woodpecker hanging from the mealworm feeder.
1:00 AM – The Goldfinches are back. In this video we see what’s probably a non-breeding male – no black cap. Later in the clip a breeding male appears.
Here we have a Purple Finch (I think – it looks purple to me) attacking a Goldfinch. Later on a Carolina Chickadee shows up. Typical day on the feeder.
We end with Mazy’s midnight swim.
