First Birdcam video

by Amy Posted on 1 January 2009

I tried video for the first time with my Wingscapes Birdcam today. Since we’ve got the cam on the optional arm hanging upside down by the feeder, I had to flip the videos. I also zoomed in on one quadrant of the video so the quality is a bit worse than you’d normally see on the Birdcam.

I’m pretty pleased with the results. In the video are: Northern Cardinal; Dark-eyed Junco (slate-colored); American Tree Sparrow; Black-capped Chickadee; European Starling; Red-bellied Woodpecker.
