Stunning Bird Photos and Videos

The Audubon BirdCam uses innovative "Smart Sensor" technology that ignores feeder movement and minimizes "empty" shots, so you won't have to worry about sorting through blank images. You'll get frame after frame of amazing bird photography that shows you wildlife in an up-close, unobtrusive way.

Easy Setup and Versatile Mounting

Setting the Audubon bird camera up is extremely easy. Adjustable focus keeps your bird photographs sharp at any distance 18-inches or farther and a laser aiming device helps insure aim is accurate. Included with the Audubon BirdCam is a pair of stretch cords that can be used to attach the Audubon BirdCam to any stationary object, such as a post or tree. A standard tripod mount on the bottom attaches to any standard tripod or the optional BirdCam Mounting Arm. The Audubon BirdCam is rugged and built to be used outdoors. It is intended to sit and wait where the human eye can't (or won't).

Great Teaching Tool for Kids

The Audubon BirdCam is a great way to teach tech-savvy kids about nature. They'll love learning about the wildlife in their own backyards. The whole family can enjoy identifying birds together and creating a "Life List" of species! And since the Audubon bird camera makes it easy to download and share, they'll love e-mailing photos to their friends. Your growing collection of bird photos and videos will be great for creative projects like personal field guides, calendars, web sites and gifts.

Optional Accessories

The Outdoor Camera Mounting Bracket allows you to easily secure your camera to a pole or gardening stake. It also provides more flexibility..

The BirdCam Mounting Arm is an easy-to-use two-foot long camera mount that lets you attach the BirdCam to any common bird feeder pole, post or tree.

The Hand-held Picture Viewer lets you view your Wingscapes camera images in the field. View and transfer your photos via USB cable or SD card transfer, or delete ones you don't want on the spot.

The Solar PowerPanel ensures a continued power source for the BirdCam and the PlantCam. With the PowerPanel you never have to worry about missing a shot because of dead batteries. The BirdCam PowerPanel uses innovative software to combine a solar panel and built-in 12-volt battery, extending camera life indefinitely in the field. A 10 ft' cord is included so the panel can be placed in optimum light, yet still be connected to the BirdCam.

The Universal Tripod is perfect for locations that lack trees or other stable platforms to mount the BirdCam. This is a durable aluminum field tripod with heavy-duty gimbal mount, and adjustable from 25" to 63".

The SD Card Reader is for use if your computer does not have a card slot. Plug the reader into any USB port on your computer, and insert your SD memory card into the slot.
