Motion-sensitive Camera - Typical Photo

Nothing! No pictures have a subject eating off the table. Even though lots of food has disappeared! I suspect the camera has gone off when birds flew through the field of vision. My experience is that when I went to put food on the table, the flash would fire several seconds after I entered the field of vision. So if a bird flies through the camera's sensor, it's gone by the time the camera fires.

This does not explain the (relatively few) nighttime photos. I guess whatever set it off did not eat.

Also unexplained is why there are no pictures of a bird or mammal eating the vast quantities of cereal and nuts and peanut butter I put out.

Motion Sensitive Camera Update

This was my setup - after a rare snow, I put various foods on an outdoor table and pointed the camera towards it. I've got about 100 pix to look at. Surely mostly birds. Results coming!

Poison Ivy in Winter

Note the dried white berries, naked terminal bud and light brown stem. Zig-zag arrangement of buds.

Once again I must apologize for the poor photo. I'm taking a nature photography class in April and hopefully you will get better shots!

For water, in the winter, it's the only game in town!
