This is too cute! Has a certain benign creepy and funny side with the closeups of paws and great sound effects. Thanks.

Where did you get the bird cam? The picture is very good!

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. Is this a bird cam per se or some other set-up. What was used for this cute video?

The camera I used was a GoPro HD. It is a tiny camera with a wide angle lens but no viewfinder designed as a helmet cam for sports video. I attached it to the feeder with a strip of duct tape. The squirrel thought it was a fine perch.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
