1:00 AM – That scruffy cat is back at the watering hole (Mazy’s pool).
Midnight possum!
I never get tired of a Mazy Wallow.
1:00 AM – That scruffy cat is back at the watering hole (Mazy’s pool).
Midnight possum!
I never get tired of a Mazy Wallow.
1:00 AM – This is the squirrel D chased off the feeder. The action is slowed down for full enjoyment of his panic. Actually, I don’t think he was panicking too much, but he did get away in a hurry.
Another Squirrel video:
And finally, the Mazy wallow of the day.
1:00 AM – We’ve only had a few ‘daytime’ creatures drink from Mazy’s wallowing pool. Here’s a Dove and a Squirrel. It could be that the pool usually isn’t filled to the brim, as it is in these videos.
Here’s an ordinary Sparrow snacking at the Squirrel Buster. Nothing much happens, but it’s a slow day for bird videos, so here it is.
Mazy trotting down the trail to the watering hole. Sort of trotting.
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 – Hungry Cardinal on the mealworm feeder. We haven’t had the platform feeder up for several days, and I think the Cardinals miss it.
More midnight animal activity – the camera catches another cat lapping up water.
And last, no daily web page would be completely without a bathing dog.
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.
1:00 AM – Another cat getting a late night drink at the pool:
And one more of Mazy wallowing:
1:00 AM – The last of our videos of the Bluebird that was around a few weeks ago. We haven’t seen him, or any other Bluebird, since then.
Another Mazy-in-the-pool video.
Small critters use the pool too, like Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal.
1:00 AM – Here’s a busy Chickadee on the mealworm feeder. Notice how he pulls worms out and drops them to the ground. When he finds one he likes, he flies off with it. Chickadees are picky eaters.
Can’t have too many videos of Mazy in the pool.
