Rotating night vision Web Cams with the Temperature:

FLYING SQUIRREL FEEDER BOX: Cam active usu: 6-8 PM through 6 AM E.S.T.
WOODPECKER FEEDER: One Woodpecker is red, white & blue. (off-line)
WOODPECKER ROOST: A Flyer & Bluebirds also used it. (off-line)
BAT HOUSE EXTERNAL CAMERA: No activity since August 29. (off-line)
(updated every 15 secs if live & motion was detected)
 In addition to operating at night and day, these cameras also ran during the cold season when Bird/Flyer breeding is over. All 3 web cam feeds appeared on one at a time. They were rotated twice per day to once per week. The animals caused the current temperature to be displayed: Their motion triggered a thermometer data update that was displayed on a new photo. The thermometer was placed in a shaded area of my yard in Dickerson, MD and read the temp every 30 minutes E.S.T.
