1:00 AM – Here we have three birds at the Mealworm Feeder, starting with a Eastern Phoebe, then a Cardinal and finally a rarely seen Brown Headed Nuthatch.
Downy Woodpeckers are an unusual sight at this feeder. They’re always welcome, of course.

1:00 AM – An Eastern Phoebe. We haven’t seen one of these for a while. It’s probably a migrator from up north, but sometimes they do live year around in Alabama.
Exciting footage of a raccoon sabotaging our surveillance system.

1:00 AM – One more Bluebird video. There still hasn’t been any more return to the yard.
Medley of birds on the worm feeder – Cardinal, Eastern Phoebe and Carolina Wren.

1:00 AM – Cardinals on the platform feeder. In this little drama, the male tries to share with the female, who is unenthusiastic. Will he prevail? You know he will.
Carolina Chickadee on the mealworm feeder:
Here’s an Eastern Phoebe and a Tufted Titmouse, a couple of drab birds that don’t get too much attention.

1:00 AM – It looks like the Indigo Buntings have moved on. We still have some video from their visit. In this one, we see two Buntings mixing with some Finches. Those Buntings are beautiful birds, we’re going to miss them.
Our most frequent visitor is the squirrel. There’s no stopping them. Here’s one placidly eating the bird’s food.
We haven’t see any Bluebirds for several days now, but there are plenty of Carolina Chickadees, and Eastern Phoebes:

1:00 AM – A montage of mealworm feeders, starting with a Red-bellied Woodpecker, and ending with an Eastern Phoebe.
One more mealworm fan – the Northern Mockingbird.

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.

4:15 AM – The mealworm feeder is almost empty, and the Bluebird and Eastern Phoebe are rooting for scraps. They don’t look all that happy about it.
A few birds drinking – I’m sure they’re happy that the ice is gone (for now). There’s a Bluebird, Yellow-rumped Warbler and Purple Finch.

3:29 AM – Happy New Year to all. We’re well into our second year of video taping the wild (more or less) animals of our back yard.
We’ll start the new year with a nice Yellow Warbler on the cylinder. They’re good luck on New Years Day. Like black-eyed peas.
Next, a brief clip of an Eastern Phoebe on the mealworm feeder. They’re also good luck on New Years Day.
The One-eared Squirrel is back, eating pepper seed without hesitation. We hope he has another successful year as a wild creature.

2:52 AM – Special ‘snow storm’ video. In the aftermath snow filled the platform feeder. This is funny – Mrs. Cardinal is baffled, but unexpectedly, a Brown Thrasher comes along and…
Earlier this week we showed a video of hungry birds waiting at the empty mealworm feeder. D filled the feeder, and everything got back to normal. Here’s some of the regulars, one after another.
We’ve got plenty of White Breasted Nuthatches, but the Brown Headed variety – seen here on the Squirrel Buster – is relatively rare in our yard.
