I enjoy them so much. I have been feeding birds here for over 30 years. Although I am not a birder I do have quite the list.

The Red breasted Grosbeaks are back after a 10 year hiatus.

I have a couple of feeders too — and enjoy them as well.

Funny that's about all we see on our birdfeeder camera here in Arizona...BTW it is mounted in a feeder by design and easy to operate inlcuding still and movie recordings in a SIMM card, alarms and downloads.

“Although I am not a birder”

It sounds like you really are!

I had a sad event in my backyard a few days ago. One of my favorite visitors to my birdfeeders was a little male Downy woodpecker. Among all the trash sparrows and starlings, he stood out as one of the native birds I really wanted to see. A couple of days ago, my cleaning lady was filling the bird feeder when I heard her shriek. She sent me a picture via her phone to identify the reason for her shrieks (she is NOT “one with nature”...). And it was my little Downy woodpecker, dead on the ground. She said he had tried to fly into my window, but that was not his normal behavior. I figured he was being pursued and in his panic, headed for the house. My cleaning lady then told me she saw a “very large bird” in the yard. Yep, I’m sure he was a hawk casualty when we found lots of feathers behind the shed. He may have gotten away, but sucumbed to his injuries. Poor little guy. I hope his mate finds another male for next year.
