All these years I thought they were blackbirds. You know, the kind there are a thousand in the field. Thanks for setting me straight.
Starlings get mistaken for blackbirds all the time. The only reason I knew the difference is because my dad absolutely hates starlings. Lol
This is the first squirrel I have seen on the tray in years. Might have to raise it a foot

The things we do for food
Good jumper
Too many mealworms make it difficult to get out
About 4 more mealworms that fat butt would be stuck until those birds that are black show up .
Yep! Male house finch. We get a lot of those here.
Too many mealworms. Canāt get in.
Fatso Datso Two by Four canāt get through the kitchen door
Probably went to the Blue Bird Diner before arriving. They had a special of āall you can eatā for Mealworms.
The replacement side panels for the bluebird feeder have been installed.
There was a scary monster looking in
One way in and out, no more blackbirds/starlings but the monster with the green box needs to go.
Dunno about a monster, but I imagine @K6CCC would agree about the box, at least.
@TomG, did you happen to use the Share feature from an event in order to generate the video you posted above? I notice that Iām having some issues playing it back and I wonder if itās related to an issue discussed in another topic and elsewhere, specifically with respect to the last ~2 seconds or so (which in your video is a āCaptured by Wyze Cam v3ā message). I think Wyze has maybe broken something with video sharing in the way they attach that tag, and Iām trying to get a handle and some attention on the issue.
I downloaded the clip to my photos and attached it here. Too lazy to edit and get rid of the pesky ad at the end.
Right, but how did you download it? Did you use the Share feature from an event screen, did you use the Download feature from that same screen, or did you do something else?
I donāt blame you for this at all, and I personally think that Wyze should make it optional. Iām just trying to gather data here, because I think thatās been part of some usersā problems.
Thatās also my suspicion. Iām seeking confirmation from the guy who uploaded it.
HandBrake?
I appreciate the effort. I was able to see the video up until the Wyze āCaptured by Wyze Cam v3ā tag in the browser (Abrowser in this case). That part wouldnāt play and is where the player in the browser threw an error. When I tried the same thing on Chrome, Chrome stopped ~11-second mark but showed it as a 13-second video. When I downloaded @TomGās original video and used VLC, I could see the whole thing.
Even with your re-encoded (at least thatās what I think you did) video, itās got a glitchy load. Whatās buffered stops at what appears to be the 11-to-12-second mark, where the mouse pointer and red circle are in the image below:
This video does play all the way to the end in Abrowser, including showing the āCaptured by Wyze Cam v3ā message thatās tacked on. When the blue dot gets to the end of the grey buffered area during playback, it just plows right through to the end.
My point is that you shouldnāt have to do this conversion, though, which is why Iām trying to get some details about how the original video was generated, because I think this is something Wyze needs to reevaluate and fix.
