    The Chickadees are always the first in - greatly disappointed this morning:

    Refilling the seed tray @ 2x speed:

    Then the Evening Grosbeaks.

    Barnegat Light

    Wow !!!

    Several shades of sunset to choose from...

    Early morning view of the nest with the road where I used to watch dog-walkers and others using the "hard shoulder" both ways - but we haven't been focusing on it much this season - yet:

    I can't tell what this is:

    Hairy Woodpecker?  (Very difficult to differentiiate from Downy):

    Apparently, if it were a Downy it would have black markings on the white outer tail feathers:

  • I know that dear SANDRA is keeping tabs, so here's a Monday-morning treat for her ears (and everyone's) - except it's a day late being posted Stuck out tongue winking eye 

    I hope you enjoyed the Great Tit's voice, which I managed to adjust without distortion - but it's a different story with this Jay, because the background noise couldn't be reduced without severely distorting the geese.  I hope nothing's gone wrong with the LotL microphone.

    Midges (I don't know what they are but they look quite big) came and went over and over again - didn't see any yesterday Thinking

    Was this female Evening Grosbeak being brave or foolhardy, staying behind after everyone else skedaddled?

  • Lovely motley set of captures and videos. loved it. Thank you Scylla
  • Ohio

    I saw on rollback that Scott had heaped up the upstairs feeder tray with loads of seeds with in-shell peauts on top, then suddenly the pile was flat - so I had to see what happened: the Blue Jays happened Hugging

    The Evening Grosbeaks are dominant (last year saw Pine Grosbeaks too, not yet this year).

    A male's feetz in flight:

    RB Nuthatch is a neglected regular:

    Handsome chap/ess:

    Still getting inexplicable stream dropouts on various cams.

  • What a beautiful LOTLs nest with the clear and brown raindrops and the green grass. Oh, golden whatnots, what a treat. And I bet what I call a coal tit is a chckadee. Thanks Scylla
