Black-crested titmouse at YMCA

I took the Canon EOS R1 out today. I had been considering selling it because the few features it had over the Canon EOS R5 Mark 2 like faster frame rate didn't seem worth the cost. But then I watched a couple of YouTube videos and thought I might should reconsider. The major attributes now to me are the low light performance, the huge electronic view finder, and it's aledged ability to focus better than the R5 Mark 2.

The only bird that was really out was a Black-crested titmouse which reminds me of something that is puzzling me. This year seems really weird. The wild flowers appear to be on a weird schedule and the YMCA has virtually no wildlife still and this is May 1st. Am I confused or is nature on a very late schedule this year?

In any case, here are a batch of images taken today.
