Ostdrossel link to Birdsy Kickstarter
This is live now, and you can pledge to get yourself a Birdsy camera. Birdsy will record and monitor the wildlife in your garden with the help of AI. It will identify the birds and mammals that come to visit you, and save the videos in your own Birdsy account. There, you can watch your own livestream, save videos or share them with others. I have been using this system for about a year now, and I can tell you, it can become quite addictive :D Let me know if you have any questions.

A perfect summer day at the pool.
A nice splash and a snack brought to you by your lover. These Blue Jays were so cute. (I know the lens was dirty. I need to find a solution for that.)
Video: Catbird meowing at the pool
I love this guy, and I am so happy he is sticking around. I was working on my computer when I heard the first meow, and I actually thought there was a real cat haha He seemed quite surprised that the young Starling left.
Video: Ragnar and two babies at the pool
I heard them yesterday but they didn’t come down, but today was the big day. Ragnar and Lagertha, the Bluebirds, brought their first set of babies to the backyard (her new nest is almost done too). I saw three, but I was keeping a distance, so I am not sure how many there are. They are as adorable as ever, and my heart is full of joy. Ragnar made a big display at the pool too, showing that wonderful slow moving of the wings that is so typical for Bluebirds. The baby bunny, a baby Robin and the baby Grack also paid a visit, and I think the livestream is going to be a lot of fun in the coming weeks.
Video: Wilhelm von Grack at the pool
It looks like baby bird season has officially begun. Earlier today, this tiny Grackle showed up, I think the parents just parked it at the pool while they were searching for food. It must have felt good for him to take a bath after spending weeks in a nest with his siblings. We named him Wilhelm von Grack. I will get nothing done in the next few weeks, this bird bath is just way too entertaining :D
