See a Whole New World with a Bird Cam
If you enjoy backyard birding, there’s a neat little accessory that will bring great rewards! A Bird Cam allows you to view birds in a whole new and exciting way. Up close and personal, they allow us to view feeders, breeding habits, and the growth and progress of nestlings. Fairly inexpensive, Bird Cams provide great entertainment of the natural world in the comfort of your home. Video can be viewed on the TV or computer. Not only for birds, they’re excellent for viewing all of nature’s activities. Placed by a duck pond, deer feeder, or just about anywhere, extra video cable is available for longer distances to the house.
Birders all over the world are kind enough to share their finds too. Many bird clubs and groups post their bird cams for others to enjoy and monitor. A great invention that brings folks much closer to nature and each other! You can view these cams, courtesy of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:

A Good Wood Birdhouse Destroyed By Squirrels
I’ve been on a rant about the squirrels in our yard lately…and here is just another statistic! At one time this was a really nice wood birdhouse, but it’s now become a squirrel box. And that is ok, because squirrels need a place to roost on cold winter nights too , but I was pretty sure they nested in trees. Now I do recall seeing Squirrel houses, so I wonder how many broods may have been born and raised in this multi-compartment house?Now that there are some 25 to 40 squirrels invading the yard, and it’s getting totally out of control…we’re not so sure about the cute little bushy-tailed critters. We have lots of bird feeders, but we have even more squirrel baffles!
Oh yes, and the chicken wire adorning the 5-inch hole in the screen porch looks just lovely too…Thanks a lot Mr. Squirrel!
