At least if you're a yard critter.
And these trail cam images are the proof.
The Prothonotary Warbler has been a regular visitor.
As have Black and White Warblers.
And while the previous two species have frequently been seen about the yard, this next warbler has been much more elusive, heard but not often seen.
Until now that is. This Hooded Warbler has been a repeat visitor.
Nighttime visitors include ...
... Northern Raccoons ...
... and Virginia Opossums.
Other mammals using the pond are Eastern Chipmunks, like the one above, and Eastern Gray Squirrels, which do not sit still for pictures.
Non-warbler avian guests are also taking advantage of the BBB.
The most common bird at the BBB, and in the gardens these days, are the Tufted Titmouses. Often scaring off the other birds.
Not scared off are the Mourning Doves.
Nor this Common Grackle.
Carolina Wrens don't seem afraid of any other birds (ok, maybe hawks).
Nor surprisingly are Chipping Sparrows. Which we had not seen around much of late. Now they visit every day.
The Back Bubbler Bird Bath (BBBB) has also seen its share of visitors, including several of the species above ...
... and this Louisiana Waterthrush (which has also since visited the BBB).
I think we can say that the Bubblers have been a smashing success.
And the best part, the BBB is visible from the sofa in our living room. Yep, while it is 90 plus degrees outside, we're watching in air-conditioned comfort.
Nice.
