Meanwhile at the Back Bubbler

 In this week's back bubbler news ...

Northern Raccoons are still visiting, although we don't see them in the feeder garden all that often. Maybe when we start putting peanut butter out for the flying squirrels we'll see them there.

American Redstarts male ...

... and female have been common in the yard the past couple or weeks. So no surprise to see them at the back bubbler.

Likewise with Black and White Warblers.

That cat is still around. We've tried to coax it in but it is very wary of humans. Sadly, it doesn't look very  healthy.

The Eastern Gray Squirrels on the other hand look just fine. Of course, unlike the cats, they are native to the area, and are adapted to the environment and living outdoors (cats are known as "house cats" for a reason).

And we have a very healthy population of Mourning Doves, which are the most common critters on the trail cam images. 

And that's it for this weeks update. I keep hoping with bird migration underway we'll get something interesting and unusual. Hasn't happened yet, but the camera is out there watching. My fingers are crossed.
