For September, we changed the location of Birdcam to a re-purposed bathtub filled with water and cattails. Wanted to shake things up a bit, and see if any species were visiting this thing, which is located down a steep hill and out of sight of the house. Lighting was pretty poor (maybe it got splashed?), but a male California Quail stopped by on the 13th (below), and on the afternoon of the 30th, Wile E. Coyote did the same.
Otherwise, the usual visitors were represented (Band-tailed pigeon, Hooded Oriole, etc.), along with a California ground-squirrel.
We now have two birdcams going, one at the "tub", and the other back at the cube-fountain, so we'll be able to gauge the difference in visitorship.
