I recently placed my camera trap on a bird feeder in my garden to get some close up videos of the birds that visited. I wasn't sure if it would work but here's the results, hope you like them.

Cool footage of the robin hovering, try sunflower hearts in the seed feeder and it will attract even more birds.

Nice video, I am surprised you didn't have a lot more visitors though, I usually get groups of sparrows and tits at a time. Never get robins though

Very good. Robin could eventually evolve into an humming bird!

WOW, that Robin is amazin'. We have goldfinches which do something similar when all perches on the niger or sunflower heart feeders are all taken and there is no where for them to land.

Hi Dana,

I was using the Bushnell 119455C camera trap which was the 2010 model. Here's the website address where you can get more info on the camera. http://www.bushnell.com/products/trail-cameras/trophy-cam/. I hope this is ok. Let me know if you need any more information. I currently have my new 2011 camera on the feeder at the moment so will see if it produces anything new.

Thanks! It must be exciting to see what the camera caught during the day/night. I have a motion detection web cam in my window but it doesn't compare with the camera trap.

See ya,

Dana
