latest bird crib pic

I put a Raspberry Pi Zero W with Pi Camera noIR v2 and an IR LED, powered by a 10,000 mAh battery, in a birdhouse I made and put in my backyard.

It takes a photo at the top of every hour between dawn and dusk and then posts it here. Based on last year, I am expecting potential Carolina Chickadee (Poecile carolinensis) tenants in March, and/or House Wrens (Troglodytes aedon) from April. wake up sheeple, birds are not real
