BirdCam Hopscotch

Trying to catch a good enough image of one of the male Red-wings. The females keep showing up nicely but the males have been in and out so fast they are often blurry. So, I spent about a week moving the cam between 3 different feeders.

Back at the frog tray we still get mostly Mourning Doves.

Been seeing the Blackbirds over on the kitchen side a lot so back over there. I did get a bunch of more blurry shots but finally got a shot of a juvenile male near dark.

Then, just as I was ready to give up on the side yard, success!

Nothing much else over there but Mourning Doves and squirrels so I will go to the main tray feeder for a while. There, we got another shot of one of the female Blackbirds.

It is also nice to see that the Blue Jay numbers are increasing. Still no young ones.

Even better, the Tufted Titmice are returning!

Think I will keep the cam here for a while and see what flies in.
