    Wildlife camera - night vision and wifi

    I have two Brownings and a Wildgame. All three cameras do an OK job but I prefer the Brownings because they do either stills or video.

    A Great Week in My Garden

    I thought that it would be good to update this thread and tell anyone who is interested about what is happening in my garden here on the eastern coast of Canada at this time of year. The trees and shrubs are all budded out or even leafed out. Not many of them are in flower yet except for...

    The Demise of Birding Software

    I've been using Bird's Diary for decades but it has stopped working. I don't mind too much not being able to enter data but am sorry that I can't access the years of accumulated data.

    A Great Week in My Garden

    My first Feederwatch day for the week. It started out in an unexpected way. I looked out of my window and there was beautiful Red Fox was standing at the foot of the feeder poles gazing up at them. Foxes of all colours are very common here in PEI but this is the first one that I have...

    Bird species seen just the once in your yard/garden.

    Gyrfalcon. An injured one showed up in my yard some years ago. It ended up in a captive breeding program because it was not releasable due to its injuries.

    A Great Week in My Garden

    We have dozen European Starlings at the feeders this week. They spend almost the whole day there with the result that we are not getting the other species. I am thinking of taking my feeders down for a few days in the hope that the starlings will move on.

    Ways of Feedings Dried Mealworms

    This thread interests me because I've tried feeding freeze dried meal worms on numerous occasions but haven't seen anything eat them. Do you do anything to them to re-hydrate them? I've tried soaking them in water, in olive oil, various other liquids. Total lack of success. Maybe they...
