1:00 AM – More video of the Downy Woodpecker:
We have a Bluebird sighting on the mealworm feeder. It’s not a great video, but it’s what we have. Maybe those worms will lure others here:
And more of the Lounging Squirrel. He was out there on the rail for quite a while:

Purple Finches – we have plenty of them in the yard. It must be the season, but the males look a lot more ‘raspberry’ than usual.
