If you were lucky enough to unwrap a Wingscapes AutoFeeder this holiday season, congratulations! We hope you’ll be delighted with all the many advantages it offers over traditional bird feeders.
While we know that some new owners have already unpacked, assembled, and put their new AutoFeeders into operation already, we also know how busy and filled with activities the holidays can be - so there are probably many out there who simply haven’t found the time to do so yet. So for those who haven’t assembled theirs yet, we’ve produced a short video showing how (as well as how easy it is) to put together a Wingscapes AutoFeeder that we hope will be helpful to all.
For more helpful tips, please visit the Wingscapes YouTube and Facebook pages.
To all those who unwrapped a Wingscapes BirdCam 2.0, Audubon BirdCam, or TimelapseCam 8.0 this holiday season, welcome to the Wingscapes community!
By now you’ve probably already unpacked and set-up your new camera. Of course, you might not yet have downloaded your first batch of images or videos yet, but for when you do, we wanted to make sure you some of the most popular places to share your new collection with other Wingscapes enthusiasts.
First, there’s the Wingscapes BirdCam Photo Gallery. Here you can see what other BirdCam users have been recording with their cameras - such as this beautiful image of a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird that Adam from Dudley, North Carolina photographed with his Audubon BirdCam - as well as upload your own discoveries.
Then of course, Wingscapes has a Facebook page as well as a Twitter feed through which your work can be shared. If you do so via Twitter, please include the hashtag #birdcam so others can easily find your images.
Finally, for those recording videos, Wingscapes has a YouTube channel you might want to follow. On it you can view some of what we’ve been recording. We also like to use it to connect with other YouTubing Wingscapers (or should that be that Wingscaping YouTubers?).
Whether you prefer one of these options or all of them for sharing your work with your fellow Wingscapes enthusiasts, the important thing is that you do so. Showing others what you’ve been recording as well as learning their discoveries is part of the fun of owning a Wingscapes camera - and we wouldn’t want you to miss out on any of it.
One of the questions we're often asked is if the Wingscapes BirdCam 2.0 or Audubon BirdCam units are in any way distracting to the birds and other wildlife they're used to record. Well, Janet, a contributing member of the Wingscapes Facebook page recently shared with us a photo that answers the question succinctly. This little bluebird doesn't seem bothered by the camera in the least.
In addition to sharing images with us on the Wingscapes' Facebook page and Youtube channel, Janet also posts her BirdCam videos on YouTube. Her most recent work documents a nesting pair of Eastern Bluebirds and is well worth watching.
Are you a Facebook, Flickr, or YouTube user? Wingscapes has pages on all of these social networks. They’re great places to pick up tips on how to get the most out of your Wingscapes BirdCam 2.0 with Flash, Audubon BirdCam, or TimelapseCam 8.0 camera, ask questions, and share images, ideas, or suggestions of your own.
Be sure to visit one or all these sites, share what you’ve recorded with your Wingscapes camera, and see what others - such as Marj from New South Wales, Australia who uploaded this spectacular BirdCam image of two Noisy Miners bathing to the Wingscapes BirdCam Group on Flickr - have been doing with theirs as well. We’ll look forward to seeing you (and your images and videos) there.
To all those who unwrapped a BirdCam 2.0 with Flash, Audubon BirdCam, TimelapseCam 8.0 or any other Wingscapes product this holiday season, we’d like to take a moment to welcome you to the Wingscapes community and show you around.
Eastern Cottontail
As one of the best things about Wingscapes cameras is the ability to share what you’ve recorded, we want to be sure you know about the Wingscapes photo and video galleries where you can upload your files for all to see. Who knows; you might just discover your image or video is declared to be a new addition to our Life List or a Staff Favorite - such as this picture of an Eastern Cottontail recorded by Pam in Malabar, Florida that made both lists.

Therefore, we’d like to take the opportunity to let you know of great place to show off your results: the Wingscapes Photo Gallery.
