My friend Laura recently emailed a video from youtube where someone had attached their GoPro camera to their suet feeder and caught some great Pileated Woodpecker action. I thought I would try it myself yesterday and had high hopes for the project. Here was my elaborate set-up:
GoPro camera + electrical tape + suet feeder
I packed in one of my homemade vegan suet cakes and waited for the action to start. I let the video roll for fifteen minutes and edited down to less than two minutes. It's just starlings dang it. Kind of a cool view of them though...
I will try again soon for some less obnoxious birds. Till then, check out other people's cool GoPro videos of feeder birds on youtube... I highly recommend the praying mantis vs. hummingbird videos... I had no idea!

Cool idea! I like their dismount off the feeder.
ReplyDeleteGreat! So glad you did that! I really loved your video from your dog's collar.....more please!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, what a great idea. The camera would be neat on a birdhouse too.
ReplyDeleteExcellent look into the life of a starling! What a great IDEA!!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I swear I had the first starlings I've ever seen in my yard today, I may be damned now...
