I had my Wingscapes Birdcam set up to catch the ground-feeding action in my yard today. I broadcast some WBU Deluxe Blend again (contains white millet) under the bushes. Then I pointed the Birdcam toward the Rosa Rugosa bush they seem to love. Here are some of the images captured over 6 hours today.
After an initial flurry of chipmunk photos (DELETE!), the jays visited next.
Then a steady stream of juncos and native sparrows.
No adult white-crowneds were observed today.
The Birdcam captured just what I wanted - documenting the busy ground feeders in my yard all day long. A new Birdcam is coming soon with even more megapixels and a flash. Can't wait to try it!

LadyMin - Wish getting rid of chipmunks was as easy as hitting the DELETE key! Or maybe I need a Staples EASY button! Thanks for visiting.

Happy looking sparrows! I had to laugh at deleting the chipmunk photos. They always seem to be hovering under my feeders.
