Birdcam Sunday: When Squirrels Steal the Show and Raccoons Drop In

[@theatienor]

Love this video! Squirrels and raccoons are the real stars of the show. Your birdcam is the best, and I'm always entertained. Thanks for sharing😊

[@MyOutdoorWildlife]

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, they are lovely critters. It's been interesting getting to see them up close.

Mike would grease the pole to keep the squirrels out of the feeder. Beautiful

[@MyOutdoorWildlife]

We have a few squirrel-proof feeders; however, all are welcome at this birdcam feeder. It's nice to see the wildlife creatures up close.

Love the song of the doves

[@MyOutdoorWildlife]

I like their songs also. Around our property, numerous birds are singing. I am blessed.

The racoons are so cute

[@MyOutdoorWildlife]

I agree. I hope to get better videos of the raccoons and possums this week. I'm doing meal prep this afternoon. I just finished making several egg rolls. I usually bake my egg rolls, but these were fried. We rarely eat fried food. However, frying these gave me a chance to try my new All-Clad Deep fryer, which did an excellent job.

Oh, I know there are some mishaps. I did not have as much time to edit this video. I only had about an hour this morning, so I did what I could in Final Cut Pro X. I typically try to complete editing the video the day before it's published. When that happens, I'll review it a few times to ensure I catch everything I want to highlight. I was about an hour into editing, and I ran out of time. When I am off towards the end of this week, I hope to catch up on video editing and have several days of videos scheduled. We shall see! I enjoy it because it is a great way to decompress. I'm slowly learning Final Cut Pro and more about video editing. I'm also learning about masking, which I will add to a few fun projects. The squirrels snag acorns and chestnuts from the trees daily, so those visiting the birdcam feeders are a bit tired of nuts. They have hidden stashes all over our property, so I imagine that is why they focus on the variety of seeds and corn.

i had to wait till half way into the video before i saw my fav mr red i was thinking he was,nt coming to eat today lol

[@MyOutdoorWildlife]

Mr Cardinal is always around to get some food. ☺

[@stevenhogg2710]

@@MyOutdoorWildlife he,s like me greedy lol

[@MyOutdoorWildlife]

@@stevenhogg2710 He's an adorable bird, so it's allowed. 🙂That male cardinal is very polite and one of the birds that rarely gets into trouble with other birds. If he's starting something, I assume the other bird has done something to it. There's one female cardinal who is the opposite; she's something. She's always ready to attack birds that even THINK about coming to the feeder when she's about!
