Saturday’s Critters – Backyard Birdcam

Big news for me this week is that I bought an internet connected, solar powered, birdcam and got it installed in the backyard.

It is pretty easy to install and set up. Given the time of year I haven’t had too many customers yet. A couple of squirrels, a Carolina Wren, and female Northern Cardinal. I’ve had more squirrels but I throw snowballs at them if I see them.

They come in short videos about ten seconds long. I used an iphone app to stitch them together and then uploaded to youtube. It is only 12 seconds long.

Lizzy allowed me to take her portrait. She is the sweetest cat we’ve ever had.

And then she winked at me. I don’t know what is up with that.

I filled up all the feeders and this blue jay helped himself to a peanut.

The squirrels helped themselves to another feeder with sunflower seeds in it.

I got Kodi patrolling the perimeter.

And three dove on the ground.

After it snowed Kodi spent some time out in it. He seemed to like it.

I think that is a lonely Junco off to the left.

After a while the brat wanted in.

He posed for his portrait on the steps.

I’m linking with Saturday’s Critters.

    I’m not keeping up the bird feeder this winter (long story) and I miss the dark-eyed juncos. It was hard to see but I do think the bird in your mystery picture was a female junco. I didn’t know they made it as far south as Oklahoma in their winter migrations south.

    Irv got a feeder cam for Xmas. He balked at paying the $40 annual fee for AI recognition, but finally decided to do it. We’ve had nothing interesting yet. Your squirrel shots always crack me up. Lizzy is the sweetest cat and very photogenic. Kodi is only a brat to those he doesn’t care for.

    Hi Alan, I can’t get over how you find so many neat things. This backyard birdcam is very cool. It would be a great addition to my deck where I have my hummingbird feeders. Thanks for sharing! Love Lizzy! 😊 John
