I've managed to increase the resolution on the birdhouse cam, but now twitch is struggling to buffer. Finding the balance is tricky. Also, I could really benefit from a camera with auto focus/exposure features. I'm thinking version 3 of this birdhouse cam will use full instead of zeros, have USB cameras with more features and a mic for sound.

Ok Bluebird nest box is cleaned out and ready for any potential new tenants. Meanwhile here's an adorable Chickadee cam someone else setup: twitch.tv/andyshutterbug

My wife was there for the fledging and got some shots of the Bluebirds taking their first flight out of the box. flickr.com/photos/mindystomble

And just like that - all the bluebird babies are gone! Flown off to start their lives outside the box. 😢 Good luck out there birdies!

One little guy left!

1st of 4 Bluebirds fledged just now - jumped from birdhouse and flew straight up into our Magnolia tree. Who's next?

One of my happiest moments from this weekend was being a part of this completely unplanned roving clown band.

That's me, @Avalon and @naugeleh if you're looking to add some #clowns to your feed.

I've tried many ways to protect my 9 blueberry plants from being picked clean by the squirrels, chipmunks, birds and who knows what else. This years solution was significant work to construct, but might finally be the one that works. Let's see.

Will the fledge today? We are watching. flic.kr/p/25jyUKG

Today is the first estimated day the Bluebirds might fledge from their nest. Once they leave the birdhouse, they won't return. These four chicks are the second brood we've had, and are watched by the 2nd version of my birdhouse camera box. Live stream is still running if you want to take a peek. twitch.tv/tendigits

These birds are anxious to fledge, which we predict will happen tomorrow. twitch.tv/tendigits
