David from Cary, North Carolina has sent us more great shots!
The photo he captured with the BirdCam of the Pine Warbler was the first known photo taken by the Wingscapes BirdCam of this species, so we added it to our Wingscapes Life List.
Thanks David!
Michelle, author of the blog The Northwest Nature Nut, wrote this great post offering tips on a good way to set up your BirdCam. Great Shots!
Thank you, Michelle!

From today: Red-breasted Nuthatch and Bushtits on the feeder. The feeder has homemade suet crumbles and black-oil sunflower in it.
I have been setting up my Wingscapes Bird Cam every day. I've been experimenting with how to set it. I like setting it to look for action every 10 minutes, and have it take 2 photos. It seems like the best distance is about 24" from the feeder. I cropped most of these photos. It's interesting to see how the light conditions change throughout the day. The brighter the better it seems. I look forward to spring and summer for some better lighting.
I generally despise the Starlings, but this little guy is just so cute. The Bird Cam captured him well. That's a good camera that makes me go "awwhh" for a Starling!!
"Mmmmm, suet dough!"
This is what it looks like set up on a tripod in our yard. The tripod works well and we don't mind sacrificing it to the rain.
