Technaxx TX-165 Full HD Birdcam Background A few months ago, I was contacted by Serhii, a Technaxx Marketing specialist.

The Easiest Way to Start Birding

How Is Your Nesting Season Going?

By Jeff Leave a Comment

As I've reported in an earlier post, my nesting season is going only OK this year.  I've already seen my bluebirds and chickadees with their first bunch of little ones and I've only got one of my my two bluebird boxes with anything in it.  And that something is house wrens. … [Read more...] about How Is Your Nesting Season Going?

BirdJam As A Nuisance Bird Deterrent

By Jeff 12 Comments

An Unexpected Result As I mentioned in a previous article about the cool new bird identification software called BirdJam, I found it to be a quick and accurate way to identify birds in the field.  It allowed you to greatly reduce your pack weight and reduce the chance of missing an ID because you were fumbling through your guide. What I didn't expect was being able to … [Read more...] about BirdJam As A Nuisance Bird Deterrent
