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.

One more mealworm fan – the Northern Mockingbird.
1:00 AM – Brief video of Bruno the Dog, with a slow-motion replay. Not a great video, but this is his first visit in quite a while, so we thought we’d show it.
Another video of the Red-bellied Woodpecker, with it’s impressive beak.
Bluebird at home on the mealworm feeder. (Camera was tilted, not the feeder).
1:00 AM – Red-bellied Woodpecker, a regular customer at the cylinder feeder.
Carolina Chickadees at the mealworm feeder:
Every now and then a squirrel tries out the compressed seed cylinder, and discovers that it’s a HOT PEPPER seed cylinder. Like the one below, the squirrels are only there for a brief moment.
1:00 AM – Woodpeckers on the cylinder feeder, a Red-bellied and a Downy.
A Pine Warbler, I think. It’s hard for me to tell the Pine and Yellow Warblers apart. Anyway, this one is a big fan of mealworms.
Finally, a closeup image of a Dove on the platform feeder.
1:00 AM – Here’s a selfish Dove keeping the other Doves at bay. It doesn’t deter the interlopers, though.
Nice video of a male House Finch grazing in the platform feeder.
And a Red-bellied Woodpecker. You never know where these will show up, though they’re at the compressed seed cylinder most often.
1:00 AM – A nice variety of traffic on the platform. Red-bellied Woodpecker and Cardinal, then a Blue Jay, all nice big colorful birds.
Here’s the large and small on the compressed seed cylinder. A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and a Carolina Chickadee.
Mockingbird having a mealworm snack.
1:00 AM – We still have the Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers around, but the only place they feed is on the compressed seed cylinder. Now that the Cylinder Cam is back up, we’re getting videos. Unfortunately, they’re so big it’s hard to get a good image of them.
Three birds in this video – the Tufted Titmouse is most prominent, drinking from the bath. When he flies away, we see a small Finch, also drinking. Meanwhile, there’s a Red-bellied Woodpecker on the Squirrel Buster feeder in the background.
1:00 AM – We’ve got two more cameras working, so we’re able to capture video of the mealworm feeder again. Here’s a random selection of mealworm fans – in order of appearance: Bluebird, Carolina Chickadee, Carolina Wren and Yellow-rumped Warbler.
Normal traffic on the platform feeder. We’ve got a Red-bellied Woodpecker getting some peanuts, some Purple Finches, male and female, and a Dove.
1:00 AM – More squabbling Finches. It goes on all day long.
Just for a change, here’s a slightly older video with no (zero) Finches in it.
1:00 AM – Red-bellied Woodpecker seems to have trouble making up his mind where to stab his beak next. Finally, he decides to go low.
Bluebird and Mockingbird drinking. Unfortunately, no drama today, but here they are anyway,
