Bird Video Galore! Also a Big Grrr!
As the old Stones' song goes, it's all over now. Check out the video below...
But make no mistake about it... Getting this short flick into a format you could see was a royal pain in the tail feathers. It seems that my new video camera saves files in a slightly less than "plays well with others" format. (Read that: "Video hosting sites like PhotoBucket and Flickr don't completely embrace the files pouring off our new 'movin' pickture masheen.'") But aside from proprietary file formats and gobbling 1/4 MB/second... No prob... We'll be fine. Just brace yourself.
As for the vid above... Is that cool or what?!? A downy woodpecker and a chickadee. If your audio setup is good enough, you can actually hear the chickadee flutter. And that's just a fraction of the total 11 minute piece we filmed. We also had/have great "close ups" of:
- the chickadee
- a titmouse
- house finches
- blue jays
- a nuthatch
See you by the feeders,

Congratulations!! A big step for you and well done. I had a good laugh at the first video as it tilted upward, but I knew you'd overcome that.
{CCA: LOL... Mrs. CCA's editing job was a lot nicer, but we couldn't get it to display... Ultimately, a good "Grrr!" got the job done.}
