Streaming video of birds need help identifying them (1 Viewer)

[clarkss12]

I just started feeding the birds, and have no idea what most them are. I created a YouTube stream so I can watch them anytime I am not at the window.
Not sure the video is clear enough to help identify them. I have seen a male and female Blue Jay and male and female Cardinal, but that is the extent of my knowledge of birds....... Also, the squirrels are eating the bird food.

I did see a Brown-Jacketed Silverhair wandering around, but you can't expect to get useful answers by posting a live video feed. Take screenshots of the ones you have questions about and post those. Or compare them to a bird guide. I find printed books a lot more useful (Peterson's Field Guide to Birds of North America is my favorite and always mentioned among the top three or so) but you can try an online guide such as this one: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/

There was a Cardinal there for the brief moment I was able to watch before youtube's new paywall blacked it out.

There's two and a half hours of history currently available for rewind, so one can look through a bit, it's quite fast using the thumbnails when scrolling the time axis. So far, we found a Cardinal and several Squirrels

The smaller birds are quite too small. Maybe the camera would be better more zoomed, as the right side doesn't show anything useful. At 2:38 PM there is one that should be a House Finch. Another bird that comes later when the Sun disappears isn't visible enough for ID.

The pinky ones are house finches. There is also an incredibly fat squirrel!

That is a good idea, thanks.

My camera is zoomed in as far as it can go. Thanks. I'll see if I can figure out another way to take a picture of the birds.
