  • They sure do! Thanks for visiting and the nice comment :-)

  • The sweet little things need a lot of sweet!

  • That's funny XD I just watched a time lapse video with a guy clearing snow off of his backyard deck to that Benny Hill music!

  • OMG like they aren't quick enough! I was ready to switch to decaf for a minute there.

    It's fun to see another side of these lovely creatures. If Technician isn't available, Benny Hill music would be perfect =]

  • This camera was set up with a motion detection system to automatically take pictures of the birds as they visit the feeder. Normally, I weed-out the bad pictures and keep the nice ones for the website, but in this case I made the whole day's collection into a time lapse just for fun. It could be a useful research tool as well, but this was just for kicks :-)

  • Love the presentation.

    Was it research oriented (time, frequency of visits for example)? Or to try out the technology? Or perhaps whimsy?

  • Great job. Did you have a purpose in doing this (for example determining times and frequency of visits) or was it more to try out the technology. (or just a whimsy :) )

  • Sehr interessant.

  • Yup - I just clipped some paper over the other 3 "flower" ports. I need to try some other feeder designs, like the "pan" type that doesn't have an overhead bottle (they don't leak so much, either!)

    The "Robo-Cam" takes 400-800 Hummingbird photos per day - most are junk and get deleted after I save any good ones. This time I saved all the junk images and made a time lapse for fun. Just tryin' new things! :-)

  • That is pretty dang cool! Did you block off the other feeder ports to encourage them to use the one port? Very creative idea!
