WINGSCAPES

Frosty Fox

Since the release of the new Wingscapes BirdCam 2.0 with built-in flash for night-time and low light photos, we have been seeing many more mammal photos, such as this one of a frost-covered Red Fox recorded by Dan in Westhampton, Massachusetts, uploaded to the Wingscapes Photo Gallery.

Unlike birds, mammals tend to be nocturnal in their activities. Because of this most people never see the true diversity of animal visitors they have passing through their property. However thanks to the new BirdCam 2.0, many users are discovering a whole new world of wildlife in their own back yards.

Night Visitor

With its built-in flash, the new Wingscapes BirdCam 2.0 enables users to capture images of a far wider range of wildlife than ever before. Take this image of a Northern Flying Squirrel recently uploaded to the Wingscapes Photo Gallery by Tina and Steve of Selma, Oregon.

Thanks to their nocturnal habits, Northern Flying Squirrels are seldom seen by humans. Even those who have lived for decades in areas where these fascinating animals occur may never have seen even one. However, as Tina and Steve note, thanks to the BirdCam, a creature that they knew was there was “brought to life.”
