Downys are too damn cute. I was lucky enough to catch the sun in his eye.

I really need to set something up like this. Is it the only photo? I’m not sure that’s even a downy, ha.
It’s a Carolina Wren, a little rain soaked. It does video too, but the alert is just the species.
The device is a bird buddy. A doorbell camera on a bird feeder. Get the solar roof. Mine is right outside the window of the house so only urban birds get pictures. I get downy, hairy, red-head, pileated, and red-bellied woodpeckers at the suet feeder further out in the yard
Forgive the leaning post and tarped roof, that was right after a hurricane. Post is straight now :)
