New Feeder Cam

Recently I received a birdfeeder with motion-activated camera. Lynn mounted it on the deck for me, but had difficulty getting screws into the very hard wooden rail, so she wound up putting it on in the only way she could manage. We agreed that it should be facing the other direction where there are trees in the background, so she took some measurements and is going to enlist the help of a friend to redo it. In the meantime, we got pictures of house finches and a Carolina wren. 




These are cropped screenshots from short videos that the camera captured. I have to figure out how to get it to take still pictures.

  4. It will be great when you get it working properly. I’ll look forward to meeting the cast if characters who visit. House Finch and Carolina Wren is a terrific start.
