There is a Bluejay who I see daily bathing in the disappearing bird stream. Today my Wingscapes Bird Cam captured several video snapshots of the bird bathing in the stream. I strung a few of them together using iMovie.

Category Archives: BirdCamAnother video to share. This is of a fledgling Redwinged Blackbird (I think) that likes to hang around the disappearing bird stream. It also likes to try and hide under a rock right near the waterfall of the stream. I sent my camera and lens to Canon for repair so for the first time in years I don’t have a camera. I do have an old Sony Camcorder, so I’m using what I have, and what I captured is rather neat. I mentioned a few days ago that we have our first Eastern Bluebird… Late this afternoon I decided to test out my new hidden birdcam on my disappearing bird stream. Shortly after I started recording, a Mourning Dove leisurely strolled back and forth in front of the birdcam and bird stream.  I’m not sure what is wrong with me lately, but I seem to be on a birding binge. I purchased another BirdCam, a Bluebird House with a built in BirdCam, and I also have on order a new 12 room Gourd Purple Martin House/Rack. In this post I have some pictures of the Bluebird House…  Well I’m now on what I will call stage 4 of the disappearing bird stream. I laid out all the garden soil and the mulch. Now I just have to add a few plants around the edges. I also bought some additional camera accessories, one of which I hope will be pretty cool and pay… First things first. Thank you to everyone who wrote a comment of concern on the blog or to me personally. I really appreciate it. I’m happy to report that Melvin’s mother has returned tonight. It was a scary night when she did not return last night and Melvin had to spend his first night alone…. I was going to post some new videos of Melvin today, but now I have a more pressing concern. Mama bird did not return to the nest tonight (it’s 9:43 pm and totally dark outside). What should I do? It’s only supposed to get down to 79 degrees tonight, so I’m guessing it will be…  Today is Melvin’s 6th day. His (I say he, but it could be a she) eyes are just beginning to open. As I’ve mentioned in the my last few posts about Melvin, his father is taking a very active role in his feeding. Here’s Papa Cardinal bringing in some food for Melvin. It looks like… Melvin the baby Cardinal is growing fast, and it’s only day 5. He’s got some nice wing feathers coming in, and it looks like his eyes may be starting to open. Today I was lucky enough to record a brief video where Melvin’s dad, Papa, dropped off a quick meal, and Melvin showed his appreciation…  It’s day 4 and “Melvin” the baby Cardinal has really grown by leaps and bounds. He’s got some very small wing tip feathers now. Also for the first time, the father of “Melvin” dropped by to contribute to his feeding. I’m not sure what the heck he brought, but whatever it was it was huge. … I have a really neat video to share for those that are interested. I combined several video clips to make one movie. In this movie, you can see the baby bird “Melvin” as Leecy calls him make his first attempts to move around the nest. He then hears his mother’s tweets for the first time. …  It’s been a while since I’ve woken up early in the morning to take pictures. Even at 7 am (I’m complaining about the lack of rain and heat again) it’s hot and humid. While I was outside and drinking my Latte, I took some pictures and videos of the Purple Martins. The overriding theme for…  Can you tell how I’m feeling today based on my posts? Yep, I’m in the mood to really complain about the lack of rain and this baking heat. It’s becoming a struggle to keep the plants adequately watered, the pond filled with water, the pool, etc. Even the birds are getting really hot today and… I found our first Cardinal nest the other day and it has 2 eggs (the second egg came about a day after the first). The eggs are about 3-4 days old. I got lucky this year (or the Cardinal felt sorry for me) in that the nest is in our Gardenia shrub, which means I… |
