Downy Woodpecker Behavior





Rare natural extended quality time with a male Downy Woodpecker in Backyard North, one of the smallest woodpecker, it is a scaled- down version of other woodpeckers. Here we see it working the bark of a locust tree and then taking a break for some preening. Its nice to see this bird in a natural setting away from feeders.

Three Screech Owlets Update



Three Screech Owlets Update





Here is some nice footage of the three owlets at the time the feed ended on May 9th. I had to go on a trip and left the live feed running so you and I could watch as well from afar , but the PC got hung up as I was not there to babysit it. Next year I'll consider putting the feed up to the cloud so it is not dependent on software and connection to a PC. In any case, the owlets and parents were very efficient and very healthy this season, but quite a bit late getting started. I suspect after their great success this year they will return earlier to the new box. Just before I left the woodpeckers were starting to lay eggs in the nest box so hope to have an update on them in early June. The owlets have no doubt fledged now and all should be well. Thanks to all who watched.

Blue Jay Bird Bath Joy - Closeup





So Close You might get Wet! Blue Jays Love their bird bath - they and other
  Backyard birds line up late every afternoon for a refreshing splash. I've
  found that these simple molded large planter bases that are hollow and
  anywhere from 12 to 18" in diameter just simply put on the ground are the most
  popular with birds from little buntings and cardinals up to big Blue Jays.
  Most birds don't require or desire very large or deep water just an inch or
  inch and a half is enough. As you watch these Blue Jays totally enjoy a
  refreshing bath - you'll know water is what helps bring the birds in.

Smallest Baby Owls Try to Eat Whole Lizard





Mother Owl is dropping lizards into the box last night to see if the owlets are ready to eat them all by themselves. The largest owlet is already stuffed and could handle it, but the smallest and the middle owlet take turns trying to eat the lizard with little luck - Mom came back and chewed it up for them - the humility.......

Dracula Owl


Dracula Owl



Dracula Owl really just wants to be left all alone. Sometimes called transformer, shape-shifting or Dracula act the tiny Eastern Screech Owls of the Backyard are one of the very few small owl species that regularly do this "Concealing Postures" or the German word "Tarnstellung" to survive in a very hostile world. This is mother owl taking a break from the owlets in the nest box in a nearby tree and when observed or threatened they change their shape to be as narrow as possible and mimic a tree branch. This is why Screech Owls are so hard to spot in trees.
