1:00 AM – We’re seeing some Rose Breasted Grosbeaks around the yard. The brownish yellow ones, with plenty of stripes, are females. The ones with black patches on their wings, and slightly rosy breasts, are immature males. We haven’t seen any adult males yet. It’s easy to recognize them, due to the vivid, distinct coloring.


Busy time at the feeder. The visitors include Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmouse, Cardinal, White Breasted Nuthatch and probably more that I missed.

1:00 AM – A Nuthatch and Chickadee on the Squirrel Buster in it’s new location. The Nuthatch is the bird on the right, without the black cap markings covering his eyes.


Most of the traffic at the birdbath these days is Squirrels and Doves. We don’t know where the other birds went, there was a much greater variety last summer. Was it something we said?


We did have a visit from a House Finch on the new Squirrel Buster location. Maybe a Purple Finch. Colors are hard.
