1:00 AM – Dove bathing. As he’s getting into the water, he seems to peck at it. No one knows why.

1:00 AM – Here’s a Squirrel foraging under the hanging feeder. We get Squirrels at this location, but not as many as we had hanging around the platform feeder on the deck.

1:00 AM – Another drinking House Finch, this one female.
These are Eastern Towhees, a bird we haven’t seen for quite a while. At first I thought it was a Robin, but the markings are different. The Robins have a white ring around the eyes, among other differences.
This is the result of an experiment – we velcroed a regular camera to the deck rail and put some peanuts in front of it. Then, we turned on the camera video capture. It ran for 26 minutes, and didn’t pick up as much activity as we wanted. After editing, you’ll see a Chickadee, a Squirrel (who gets a long drink, then moseys down to the nuts) and a Titmouse. Maybe next time we’ll get more action.
