May 2, Red-header woodpecker in slow-motion.
Shot with GoPro 11 Black at high speed but I don't think I'm getting the best results in either Pinnacle Pro 23 or Kdenlive. I wanted to capture what it looks like when flying away, which is usually how I see it. Youtube link (in case video doesn't work above).



Ma Bluebird hard at work on the second nest of the season.

May 19, Gray Catbird's meow.

My first ever AI* video. May 20 at Kent Lanes open mic. The audio is a bit fake too, I wasn't pleased with my playing and attempted to make it suck less by adding 2nd guitar the next day at home. 
*I used an online thing called DeeVid. I thought it did pretty well animating a static image.

U.S. Blues (No fake video or audio edits on this one)

May 22, male Red-bellied woodpecker. 
May 22, the lovely male Rose-breasted Grosbeak



May 24, I'm hoping this Red-headed woodpecker is delivering some suet to a youngster in a nest somewhere.
May 24 This female Baltimore Oriole was rapping on the kitchen window. I'm quite sure the message was "Hey! Grape Jelly, now!".
May 25, she's back at 7:30 in the morning.
