My name is Amy and I live in the Chicago area.
Besides birding I love to travel. 
Better Birdcam pictures
Posted on December 30th, 2008 in Backyard Birds, Wingscapes Birdcam
I’m starting to have some fun with my new Wingscapes BirdCam. I think we’ve got the arm in a fine place to capture some of the feeder regulars. I placed the cam on the ground yesterday and got over 1000 photos of squirrels. So six different bird species on the nut table today and no squirrels is a big improvement.
This Blue Jay is the best photo of the day.
Mr. Jay seemed to enjoy the limelight as most of his shots were actually in the sun. Work it, Jay-Man!
The rest of today’s visitors (Red-bellied Woodpecker; Downy Woodpecker; Dark-eyed Junco (slate-colored); House Sparrow; Black-capped Chickadee) were a bit more shy, mostly electing to stand facing away from the camera, in the shadow of the pole or, more often, completely behind the pole.

Wow, great photos. We have a few of these same visitors at our feeder. This seems like a perfect setup. Thx for sharing this.
