Motion Activated Snaps Are Back

I found the fix to the program that runs the feeder cam and the motion activated snaps are up again. Thanks for visiting, Jim and Susan.

Temporary Feeder Cam Fix

I have a temporary solution in place for the feeder cam. The motion activated snaps are not available though. I hope to have the issue tracked down and corrected soon so that everything will be working properly. Thanks, Jim and Susan

Feeder Cam Down

Working through a failure in the feeder cam that resulted from an upgrade. We hope to have it back soon. Please check back later. Thanks, Jim and Susan

Happy Holidays To All

Happy Holidays to all from the entire wingbarscafe family.

Cam Interference :-(

Feeder cam is having a hard time today with interference. Something nearby is causing this. Wonder if my neighbors would mind turning off their heat pump to see if that is the issue Maybe I will just try moving some cables around first.

Nice Day To Be Outside

The birds might have been a little scarce on the feeder cam today while I was working in the yard. I did notice that one of our male Eastern Bluebirds was camped out on the feeder several times today. Also spotted a Brown-headed Nuthatch at the feeder cam. It was warm enough for our reptiles to catch some rays today. While I was raking leaves I spotted a young Anole Lizard on one of the fence posts. Most of the deer seem to be getting used to not having a fence to jump anymore to get in the yard. Some of them still seen a little confused. Thanks for visiting, Jim and Susan.

Quiet At The Nectar Feeders

The hummingbirds seem to have moved on. The last Ruby-throated that I saw was on Wednesday of this week. Since I do not get to watch the feeders on a regular basis we could still have a late one or two. I will leave one feeder out front and one on the deck in case we get a Rufous or anything else unusual.

Nothing new on the seed feeders. I reattached the window feeder up in the office. I had really missed the up close views of the birds up there.  We still have a wide variety of birds and mammals visiting the cracked corn tray. Thanks for visiting, Jim and Susan.

Hummingbird Migration Update

The numbers are down a bit from the last few weeks. However, we do still have adult male Ruby-throated Hummingbirds hanging around and they are the first to move on to their destination. I can check the activity more over the next few days to see if it is time to put the sunflower feeder back in front of the camera.

In the near future I will have to take the camera down for a few days to clean and stain the deck. I will provide updates on when and I may set up an alternate camera during that time. Thanks, Jim.

Ruby-throated UFC Continues

If you are watching for the hummingbird activity on the feeder cam, the most activity is in the early morning and then again in the evening. There are surges of activity during the day though.

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds

The hummingbird activity has been pretty good the last few days. I am moving one of the feeders in front of the camera until activity dies down. Thanks, Jim and Susan.
