1:00 AM – The new cylinder feeder has a lot of bugs and worms in it. This mixture seems to be popular with the Carolina Wren:
Also popular with the Raccoon, naturally. But the cylinder is covered with a plastic/nylon mesh, that lets bird beaks through, but frustrates the Raccoon.
1:00 AM – This selfish Finch insists on having the feeder to herself:
But when she runs into a Carolina Wren, she meets her match.
1:00 AM – Carolina Wren, and the ever-present Finches:
Another of the Eastern Towhees:
1:00 AM – Bruno visits!
Marsupial friend visits:
Carolina Wren:
1:00 AM – Robin ground feeding. Still not the best quality, but a little better.
Mazy descends the path with regal dignity. More or less. We took the pool out of service for a few days, a big disappointment for her. We’ll restore it today or tomorrow. Wallowing in the water is a close second to eating as her favorite activity.
Squabble between a Wren and, I think, a Finch. These things happen in the bird world.
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 – 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 – Squirrel gets a drink.
A Carolina Wren at the Squirrel Buster, when it was in it’s old, dark location. Future videos of this feeder should be of better quality, now that it’s been relocated.
Another video of that Blue Jay from a couple of days ago. We don’t see them too much, and don’t see the Bluebirds at all. Maybe it’s the hawk that lives next door.
1:00 AM – Faces of the Platform – a series of close-up videos of patrons of the platform feeder. They are, in order, a Cardinal, Finch, Dove, Wren and Squirrel.
1:00 AM – A scruffy cat gets some water from the pool. Wonder when we’ll get our first raccoon getting a drink.
Here’s a House Finch – or maybe a Purple Finch. It’s hard for me to tell if it’s purple or red.
Brief video of a Carolina Wren drinking.
