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!
