Feeder cam
The camera is resting.
Birds keep early hours. Until the live feed is back, here's a recent visitor.
Feeder cam
From the backyard
A quiet window onto the busiest spot in the yard.
Live and recorded video of the cardinals, chickadees, finches and occasional squirrel-in-disguise that visit our feeders.

Field notes
How the feeder gets to your screen
-
A camera at the feeder
A weatherproof camera watches the platform feeder from a few feet away — close enough to count tail feathers.
-
The good bits, trimmed
Most footage is an empty feeder. The best visits are trimmed into short clips and tagged by species.
-
Delivered from the cloud
Clips live in cloud storage and stream to you from a nearby edge server, so a popular video never slows the site.
Support the archive
Keep the feeders on camera.
There are no ads here and there never will be. Every clip is stored and streamed from cloud storage, which costs a little more each month as the archive grows. If a visit brightened your day, a small donation helps keep the whole flock online.
Donations are processed securely by PayPal. You don't need a PayPal account.
