I loved my old bird feeder but it finally gave up on my a week or so ago. It’s weakness was that it had a separate solar collector from the feeder. The squirrels like to chew through the power cable between the two and birds liked to perch on it. I spliced the wires several times and took measures to protect it but it wasn’t enough. So I got a new model with an integrated solar collector on the roof of it. No exposed wire.
A female cardinal. The camera is a big hit. I get over 300 birds a day visiting it. I limit the food because I cannot feed them all.
A male cardinal.
A crow come to call and gave the camera the evil eye.
Lots and lots of mourning doves. They tend to eat a lot.
I rigged up my trail cam to keep an eye on the bird cam.
Lots of birds look right at the camera.
And an old guy with a funny hat mowing the weeds in the back yard.
And a 24 second short video compilation of some of the bird feeder videos. At the end there is a few second segment of a black swan chasing geese off the neighborhood pond. Special note, it is not 3026!
I am linking today with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters.
Hello, Yogi
I love your new feeder, the photos are awesome.
300 birds a day, I would not have enough bird food.
Great capture of the guy in the hat and the black swan.

…with all of our squirrels, I only buy all metal feeders. They chew right through plastic and wood.
Awesome birds 🙂 Loved your Bird Feeder.
Happy weekend.
I was thinking of getting a smart feeder for my husband, who has mobility challenges and it would give him so much joy. He misses his feeders although he doesn’t miss fighting the squirrels, grackles and starlings, lol. But trying to figure out what to buy (and it would have to be easy for me, a non-technical person, to maintain) has been a challenge. Interesting that crows are checking out your feeder – I’ve never had them come into my small yard. I loved the last little clip with the black swan taking on the Canada goose.
That looks brilliant. I’ve been thinking of getting one with a camera on it. May have to invest.
