The Bird baths have been getting good traffic in recent weeks, especially during our ongoing Piedmont heat wave. Here's the roll of species I recorded paying visits, using the Wingscapes BirdCam:
- American Robin
- Brown Thrasher (shown)
- Common Grackle
- Eastern Towhee
- Gray Catbird
- House Finch
- Mourning Dove
- Northern Cardinal
- Northern Mockingbird
What's more interesting to me is the list of species I haven't seen. No Chickadees. No Titmice. No Bluebirds. Nor Woodpeckers, Warblers, or Wrens. The BirdCam doesn't miss much, hence the others get their water elsewhere or elsewise. I have seen some of these species at the bird baths in the past, but I don't see nearby sources of water of any consequence. I'll need to look harder, evidently. On goes the count!
