BirdCam Backyard Discoveries

Wingscapes BirdCam users quickly discover two things – there are more birds visiting their yards than they previously knew and the birds they did know were visiting do so more frequently than they thought.

Take for example this image of a Common Yellowthroat male recently uploaded to the Wingscapes BirdCam Photo Gallery by Kathy from Amelia Island, Florida. Kathy writes that she had only seen the bird “once or twice;” however the BirdCam was able to show that he visits more often than she knew. By uploading this image, Kathy also added the species to the BirdCam Life List.

Thanks Kathy!

Mysteries of Flight Revealed

One of the questions that is often asked of Team Wingscapes when we are demonstrating the Wingscapes BirdCam is “Can it capture still images of birds in flight?” Indeed it can.

As this image of a Pine Warbler submitted to the Wingscapes Photo Gallery by BirdCam enthusiast extraordinaire David of Cary, NC demonstrates, the BirdCam has both the quick reaction time as well as the photographic capacity to obtain great pictures of flying birds. In fact, these pictures are quite often very illuminating in that they reveal some of the amazing body postures required of birds while airborne.

Northern Parula Added to the BirdCam Life List

Marcus from Orlando, Florida has sent us more great shots!  Thank you Marcus.

This Northern Parula will be added to our BirdCam Life List.

Two New BirdCam Life List Birds Added from Oregon

Check out these great shots sent in to us by Floyd in McMinnville, Oregon.

The Yellow-rumped (Audubon's) Warbler and the Pine Siskin are the first photos submitted of these two species so we have added them to our BirdCam Life List.

More from the Flycatcher

The Flycatcher sent along a few other images as well. Based on images sent into us here at Wingscapes, Floyd is HANDS DOWN the our favorite BirdCam photographer out there at the moment. Beautiful shots. Thanks.
