So you're saying each camera takes a different view. With one click?
Yes one click. You may have seen by now when Blackdog answered me that a third camera does a panoramic view. I can now think of a time that I would have liked that. I had so many beautiful birds in my crabapple tree and yard at once. The tree looked like it was full of ornaments. I don't know if I could have gotten stuff going quick enough to catch it though. Maybe I would like being like a millennial.

Still sunny and almost sunset!

Everything is battened down, my truck is tarped over, things in our garage are rearranged to bring in wifey’s SUV. Bird feed purchased, snacks & food in the pantry. Snow shovels pulled out, dusted off and ready on the front porch. Luckily, neither of us have to go anywhere on Monday..or Tuesday. GoPro/minicam batteries all charged, set the camera up at the feeder today to test it out. Tons of activity.

In between, ive cut a few boards up, and dry fit the new bird house. A work in progress.

Bird food was a big thing ? on my grocery list! Otherwise they'll be peeking in and pecking on my living room window. I love that pattern you found for a bird home.

CDR Virtual Vacations presents On this 2020: We explored Auckland on foot and called in at Giapo for one of its legendary Colossal Squid Ice Creams. You get a box with it to store chcocolate for later!

After visiting the maritime museum and the Auckland museum we got out of the city in the afternoon to a nature reserve on the other side of the bay. Great views and our introduction to some of the local birds, including loads of cute little Silvereyes and the noisy Tui with its distinctive white throat tuft.

I always love your bird pictures. And enjoy your knowledge of them. The ice cream cone didn't look too bad either with all that chocolate covering it. Yummy ?

What's wrong with those crazy birds ?. Mine mainly bug me when it's snowing though. That's the only time I put out seed. They all have been liking the suet I've been putting out for the woodpeckers even with no snow. They all also adore the crabapple tree. I've been really having some fun watching the woodpeckers. Hello ?

Or planning their attack :oops:
Maybe you should butter them up and find a different spot for the feeder. Although I like squirrels too. I've never seen one in my yard. It's probably best. The seed I bought this time I bet the sparrows will hate. So I'm about to get in trouble too.?

Haven’t used my mini “Go Pro” in awhile so in preps for the snowstorm & lots of bird activity, we set it up this afternoon to make sure the settings were good to go.

Plenty of Starlings

I always thought those were grackles. Now I'd really like to know. I'll have to look that up.
