Nest cams are very popular too.

That is awesome! What a great gadget. My sons and I love bird watching. I love the shot of the cardinal looking at the camera. Do you participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count? Welcome to GBBC — Great Backyard Bird Count

Great pix! Thanks for sharing.

I love the one of the goldfinch peeking around the tube feeder like he knows the camera is there.

Little trick for the "arch nemissis" -- hot pepper. Birds can't taste it, but the majority of squirrels dislike the hot. You could also feed safflower which they hate, although the chipmunks love it so you may be trading one villan for his side-kick.
