Autumn Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

More bands of rain from Hurricane Delta remnants kept the birds away in the morning. The birdfeeders were then swarmed by a flock of feisty Pine Siskin. Only a few of the local birds were able to get to the birdfeeders

Afternoon at the Birdfeeders: Tufted Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch, House Finch, Pine Siskin, and American Goldfinch.

Still a small number of birds visiting the backyard patio birdfeeder. The “blind in one eye” House Finch from earlier this summer is still around.

Early Autumn Backyard Nature in New Jersey.

For the last 10 days very few birds visited the backyard patio birdfeeders. I’m not sure if they got scared away by the Bald Eagle or Cooper’s Hawk — or maybe the neighborhood cat(s). I stopped doing the time-lapse image collection since so few birds were visiting.

Contact me if you are interested in a Time-lapse Video of the session at the Birdfeeders. My setup for the birdfeeder images is a Nikon D850 camera and 200 mm f/2 VR lens set to take one image every 5 seconds over a 5 hour period (~3600 images). The new time-lapse video format is 720p (1080 x 720 pixels) and 1 frame/second. The length of the video is about 1 hour in a 1 GB MP4 file. The previous time-lapse videos of the birdfeeders were at 12 frames/second, and to be honest were too fast to identify the birds.
