The backyard

is full of baby birds right now, and they all come down to the pond. Here's a Baltimore Oriole with two young ones. A Rosebreasted Grosbeak watches on, his offspring came later. This clip I recorded with a CY95 trailcam. I'm fairly new to trailcams but I love the video quality, and that it comes with a solar panel!⁠ I am always looking to improve my setups and found this one at the beginning of the year on Amazon. Thr sepcs looked great, and so did the price, so I gave it a whirl. Trailcams are a bit different than my other setups, kind of like a mix between all of what I use, the Birdsy cams, the Birdfy cams and also my photo setups. Just like my photo setups, the resolution / image quality is superior to the other cams but trailcam and photo cams are not connected to the internet, so they don’t need to stream data. I have been experimenting with this one and really like what I see. The solar panel is something I wanted, and it works surprisingly well, saving me money on batteries. I set it to record video but also take photos for the events, so when I go through the recorded footage, I kind of get a glimpse of what is in the videos with the help of the photos, which is nice and saves time. Now I wish I had a bigger property with more hidden corners, I would put trailcams all over the place!
