Humphreys County New Johnsonville Clayton Ferrell I set up a Plotwatcher trail camera on the milkweed this afternoon. Male and female cardinals were the primary culprit with males accounting for about 2/3rds of those present. I was able to identify at least 3 different male cardinals. I did capture one mockingbird regurgitating a caterpillar. He never showed up again, so he apparently learned from his experience, unlike the cardinals! The Plotwatcher camera is a pretty cool little camera. Unlike other trail cameras it takes pictures continuously. It is set for 5 and 10 second intervals but those settings can be changed. It only takes pictures during daylight hours, but covers from about 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after sunrise/sunset. In the end you watch the series of pictures as a film. They are presently on sale for $139.99 (normally $200) with free shipping through the attached link only. They are trying to sell off the old model before the new ones come out. I received mine in three days after placing an order.
