Bird Cam

I like the idea of the humming bird cam. I placed my humming bird feeder in front of this one but had some challenges with wind. I want to get the cam going again soon, need to get a bag of bird food.

 

Thanks I like the hummer cam too. So will have to find a place to set it up near a window in a protected area. I don’t feed birds near the house they make such a mess …I also need to get the trail cams out too. Been a bit lazy lately just feel like a solar battery that needs sunshine to recharge my batteries. Sun will be back in a few days.
Looking forward to your bird cam pix.

 

I slacked off because of increased gardening stuff. Im thinking about moving it to see if other birds like it too.

 

I totally get it. This time of year can be overwhelming. Plus you have taken on a lot of home improvement projects this year. No problem when you’re in a better place …anytime. We have the whole season ahead of us.

 

Hummers from the bird cam

 

That's fantastic!

 

Thanks . They are so tiny and fast.

 

They're lovely pac.

 

Thanks .
Today’s pic just coming in for a snack.

 

These are really good, Pac. It would be so nice to see these every day.

 

Thank you.. these hummers are amazing lil birds. They keep the tiny knats off the porches and over winter in the thick arborvitae trees close inside next to the trunk.

 

Cor Pac- I had no idea that those beasts overwintered anywhere in north america.

 

I switched my bird feeder to hummingbird feeder too.





I need to work on the resolution, probably move the feeder closer to the cam. Also this was dusk and a bit backlit. I can't figure out how to do still shots - these are from videos stopped / screen shot.

I did figure out how to set up the solar charger, so I don't have to disassemble it to charge the battery now, yay!

 

Daniel I think Hummers are much easier and cleaner birds to use a camera feeder close to the house , windows and patios. Affix small lids that hold hummer liquid on the front of your cam feeder. Or make something small for your feeder. There are single small feeders that could work. To much liquid is heavy and wind can be an issue. I put mine on a table under a porch roof so wind or other birds don’t intrude.

 

Hummingbirds go into a hibernation of sorts called ‘Topor’, which can drop their internal temperature, inducing a temporary state of torpor, which means they need less energy, and therefore less food, to withstand frigid temperatures in winters.
