We have a bumper crop of hummingbirds this year, so I set my webcam up in a windowsill and I’m streaming it most weekdays, for those of you who need another time-waster in your workday. I had originally called the page “hummercam,” but found that a page with that name, on a blog called “Woody,” seemed to be attracting a lot of traffic from Republican congressman, so I edited a bit.
On the general critter front, the raccoons are back. Or at least one was casually helping himself to sunflower seeds from one of my bird feeders Tuesday evening. That feeder came down, but they don’t seem interested in the hummingbird feeders, so they can stay up unless the bears come around.
Top five alternative places to set up a webcam around here:
5. A crittercam on the deck, to watch for squirrels, raccoons, bears, and the common Montana “gun-toting, government-hating loner.”
4. A dogcam around Woody’s neck, so you could see some random patch of sky as he naps through the critter invasions.
3. A kitchencam. We’re still paying for the remodel so we can damn well get some use out of it.
2. A fireplace cam. Just like one of those fireplace DVDs, only in blurry, jerky, super-low resolution!
1. A drivewaycam, so I can be on the alert for the approach of escaped burglars, wannabe celebrity kidnappers, and lost people I can inadvertently scare the crap out of.
