More Goldfinches but COLD!

Our little Goldfinch who was unhappy with the Titmouse visitor the other day (scroll down to the post below) doesn't seem to want any of her own kind there, either!

We now have three Goldfinches, at least, and there the yelling continues. Finally starting to hear the Goldfinches up in the trees in the mornings so their numbers are growing.

Bad news is, it is an extremely cold week here in Central Florida. We usually get a day or so of a cold snap but this blast of Arctic air is still pushing in. Suppose to be in the upper 20s through coming weekend. Not looking forward to it. Our 'normal' low is 50!

Bundle up.

So does the bird cam work by responding to movement?

Hey, Alan.

Yes, it is motion sensitive.

For some reason, though, it seems to go to sleep earlier than I would like it to and doesn't seem to wake up like it should.

Not totally sure about it. Still testing. I know I set it at a different feeder today and am currently downloading the 208 images it took!
