What sort of 'birdcam' have you got? Seems to work well.
Thanks.

I may circle the fig tree with an electric fence. Not sure I want to go to the trouble and expense. I electrified my bird feeders with an electric fence charger to keep deer and raccoons out of the sunflower seeds, and it works.

It's a Wingscapes Birdcam 2.0 which is no longer made.

I am not thrilled with it. It is fairly hard to customize the set up, has a manual lens focal length distance setting, and night time flash photos suck the batteries down. I can set it to not take flash photos, but sometimes I want night time photos.

Those D-cell Duracell alkaline batteries get expensive.

I bought the 120-volt A/C adapter to save batteries, and it was a separate fairly expensive purchase, as I recall. But that involves pulling an extension cord.

I have some game cams that do a better job. The design of game cams has improved a lots in recent years.
