Low on birds? Take a look at our live cam!
January 25, 2012
Many FeederWatchers have been lamenting over low bird counts this winter, but not Tammie Haché – our live FeederWatch Cam host! If you’re feeling low on birds, why not watch Tammie’s feeder for a while?
Tammie reports: “Things are insanely busy at the web cam! I’m averaging between 100 and 200 birds at a time in the backyard, mostly Evening Grosbeaks, Pine Grosbeaks and Common Redpolls. I opened my 5th – 40 lb bag of seed yesterday. Last winter, I only used 3 bags all season long!”
Take a virtual trip to Manitouwadge, ON and Tammie’s plethora of birds here!

We moved into our new home in October. I was thrilled to see so many of the Woodland birds which I love watching. However, this past week…only a few birds have appeared over the the last week. I heard an owl in the tree around midnight one night and that’s when I noticed the severe decline in birds. Do you think the owl is my problem in declining birds? I cannot see or have I heard the owl since but the birds are nowhere to be found.
Thanks, Debi
Hi Debra,
It is unlikely that an owl would scare away your feeder birds since owls don’t usually prey on feeder birds. It is hard to know for sure why birds “disappear” sometimes. We have some possible reasons here.
