The Meow family
also seems to enjoy their time here. They are finding plenty of bugs and caterpillars, enjoy taking baths and judge you hard while sitting at the jelly trough.
Times are bleak at the feeders
because everybody is taking care of the babies, but keeping that jelly feeder out there and filled can be rewarding. The Catbird is still a regular, which is absolutely wonderful, and this speckled Oriole is a daily guest at the jelly trough as well.
Video: Eastern Bluebirds and Gray Catbird at the bath
Both male and female Bluebird took a break from baby duties and came for a refreshing bath. Right after, a Gray Catbird had some sips too. And Birdsy recorded :)
The Gray Catbird
is still around, and I think yesterday, I saw two of them. This is very exciting and makes it more possible that they might stay for the summer. He was not very enthusiastic about the constant rain yesterday, but today we have wonderful sunshine! (No flooding in my area, and I hope everybody out there is ok, given the circumstances.)
The Catbird was back
for more grape jelly. Apart from the meows that he produces, I think his appearance also resembles that of a Chartreux cat. He looks so elegant, and I am happy that he graced the yard with his presence this year.
