Passive Aggressive Blue Jay at Bird Bath Gets Its Way
Blue Jays (clearly extroverts) and Doves (introverts?) are two songbirds that you think you can read their expressions as they seem to wear their emotions on their sleeves. I love this little bird slice of life at the Mountain Spring as a Blue Jay shows nuance in getting its way and the Dove tries dealing with the Jays head games by ignoring, but then throws in the towel. Birds are so fun to watch!

White Winged Dove is Frustrated by Cheerios
Riley Raccoon is late for his breakfast and a huge White Winged Dove finds his plate of plain dry cheerios fascinating - there must be a way to eat these circles. The Blue Jays, crows and Grackles love them and know exactly what to do with them. The Dove continues to be intrigued, but frustrated. For videos on Riley Raccoons breakfast check out:

How Native "Buffalo Birds" Became Cowbird Pests
Cowbirds are one of the bird species that benefits greatly from human modification of the environment at the expense of other birds. Cowbirds are brood parasites which means they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and do not care for their own young. Their parasitic reproduction strategy is unique among the world's blackbird species. Historically, cowbirds were restricted to the Great Plains in short-grass prairies, where they followed buffalo herds, feeding on insects stirred up by the grazing animals. It was not until the native forests of the eastern United States were opened up and interspersed with agriculture and livestock that cowbirds were able to invade.

Robins Bathe in the "Rapids"
Few songbirds like a long soaking bath in the mountain stream more than robins. But recent heavy rain turned the normally relaxing bird bathing area into more like a wirlpool - much to the dissatisfaction of mother robin who really wants her bath. The robins like water too much not to figure it out – the Dove's may take a little longer. For planning your own backyard bird habitats remember birds love a little movement in the water.

Gulls Feeding on Spring Alewife Fish Run A Mini-Documentary
The worlds largest gulls, the Great Black-Backed Gull, Herring Gulls and a few of the much smaller ring-billed gulls which represent all 3 gull species found in coastal Maine partake in a feeding frenzy resulting from the annual spring run of Alewife fish or River Herring up the East Machias River to spawn in late May 2022. It was cold, foggy, spitting rain, windy and an overall dreary day which is not particularly unusual in coastal Maine in May as I found out, but the light was good enough for video and the scene was fascinating and beautiful.

Young Marsh Rabbit Takes Center Stage
With a cute mustache, tiny ears and no tail to speak of this young Marsh Rabbit out on its own now doesn't look much like a rabbit but it is precious as can be and one of the more interesting mammals in the Florida Backyard! That said, this part of the jungle/woods is a dangerous place for the little one to hang out in the open for long periods of time. Good luck little buddy.
