New user here and new forum member as well. Just got the Wyze Cam Outdoor (camo starter bundle) for Christmas - expressly for the purpose of bird watching - hummingbirds especially!!

[image] peepeep: I see a @TomG setup in your future Oh yes you do. My mother was an English teacher. Double negatives were verboten. As were “ain’t” and “I’ve got (short for I have got” and the mother of all language nightmares, the dangling participle. (I think there is a pill for that) …
