I think I am getting better from the teachings from all of you...I think this is a wren? Hello all again from Tampa Florida. I have an online backyard bird-feeder streaming live on Twitch/Youtube...Check it out sometime! www.twitch.tv/birdsiviewcam or www.youtube.com/@bivcamera/streams

Must be the changing of the seasons here in Florida...as I don't commonly see this bird at the feeder...thanks.

Thanks again for the bump Kevin...Hello BarkityBark! I wanted a way to capture the beauty of birds/wildlife but have the convenience of watching it on my television. My background is engineering within the AV/networking/RF industries so during the pandemic pause I put that all to work and set out to accomplish just that! Now my tagline: Hello all again from Tampa Florida. I have an online backyard bird-feeder streaming live on Twitch+Youtube...Check it out sometime! Live view of the Feeder: www.twitch.tv/birdsiviewcam OR www.youtube.com/user/birdsiviewcam Now for the details...This mission like usually all my endeavors are like putting together a puzzle without knowing how the puzzle pieces are going to fit or how many there are going to be. Something so simple like viewing a bird feeder was very challenging. I knew the technical aspect of it all but the bird feeder part was more of a pain to incorporate into that world. So I understand all the challenging aspects of those before me in order to make this happen. In my case I had three worlds to overcome. The technical, birdfeeder and virtual and marry themselves together so it wouldn't break the bank or my back! ? With the pandemic, time was at a standstill so I had plenty of that to think it all through. Looking back if it wasn't for the pandemic, I would not have the time required to accomplish what I did. With every layer just adds more points of failure so keeping it simple is what you would always want to strive for. Are there more things I can do to even perfect this bird camera? Sure like adding a more robust power backup and losses of internet connection when living in Tampa Florida deals you throughout the year but for a total price package with all three worlds under $500 is somewhat astonishing to others who currently do what I am doing for more than quadruple that. Sooooo to answer your situation. I would try to use the best image resolution that you can afford and suggest anything at least 2k (1440p) 3.7MP type would be great. It's all in the image details. The ability to zoom/focus/ptz and sound are also great and add to the total experience. Or you could just enjoy watching my stream and call it a day. Send myself a PM if you would want more in depth details as I am always willing to share with others!

You notice on my feeder I had to "lock it down" with wire over the top of the seed tray. I was getting to many raider birds...like crows, doves and grackles that were emptying my seed hopper in one day with the shoveling motion with their beaks! Mission completed!

Primary Ingredient(s) Rendered Beef Suet, Black Oil Sunflower Seed, Peanut Meal, Cracked Corn, Striped Sunflower Seed, Peanuts, Raisins, Pecans, Almonds Nutrient Analysis Crude Protein 6% min Crude Fat 54% min Crude Fiber 18% max Forget the birds! That sounds yummy!

Why yes...Instead of placing a block of the suet that I wasn't getting any success with...I break the suet up in the cages and mix in the sunflower seeds! So it appears the birds like me to cut up their suet in bite size pieces! So is this picture the same bird or something different?

Might as well keep this thread going with my mystery birds....BTW this forum is the BEST! I do thank all of you for assisting with my ramping up learning curve with these feathered friends. This one I spotted this morning...

Wow...I would have never guessed. I was thinking some kind of sparrow. Is that a juvi male or female?
