I was watching the sapsucker woods live cam and I noticed that some of the grackles at the feeders were pointing their heads up or looking up while others were minding their own business. I think the ones that were looking up were acting as sentinels looking out for predators. And I was watching the Panama live cam and a grey cowled wood rail came up to the feeder and ate the bananas for a while. Not many other birds came up to it while it was eating except for some snow bellied hummingbirds. Also at the Panama feeder, I saw some type of euphonia and some southern bentbills i think. The euphonia was more solitary and ate much slower than the bentbills.
Belted kingfishers are my favorite birds that live around here. I don't see many of them but every once and awhile, when I crawl out of my house for the day, I hear this chattering sound and that's when I know there's a kingfisher at the pond. I love to see them fly, but I have never seen one fish. I would like to see them more but I'm too lazy to get out so I enjoy them when I can.
