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.

Saturday’s Critters – Flying Squirrel & a Sitting Hawk

My backyard trailcam captured this image of a squirrel jumping up on a bird bath. It looks like it is giving the camera some side eye, like “watch this!”

Hawk on fence

Earlier in the week we had another backyard visitor. A Cooper’s Hawk came and sat on the back fence for maybe a half hour. Probably on the lookout for squirrels. Sorry for the fuzzy photo I shot it through a window and it was raining.

Critter Photowalk Around Lafortune Park

I posted earlier this week about a photowalk I took around Tulsa’s Lafortune Park. I saved my animal pics I captured on the walk for Saturday’s Crittes.
