I never know what I will get in the frame. I take the camera off of auto focus, set the focus for 14 feet, set the flash, shutter and aperture manually, hold the camera over the opening and shoot. It is like old school paparazzi.

This is so cool…Would you ever have a chance to listen, say in a couple days, outside, but close, so you can hear ‘chirping’? And could you have a camera rolling just over the top? I just saw at Meijers (local grocery store) today that they have a new small mini type camera that fits on your head and then people go parachuting, etc.,,do you know anyone who has something like that you could borrow – or have them come over and record? I’m just so excited for you, as this is very rare and you have so much to gain from your observations. Thanks for sharing. Yes, Happy One Removed Grandma Vulture Mode…:)

Oh, just wait, we do have a treat in store – I hope. Check out the Ugly Birds Gather post, I used the GoPro Hero3, but it won’t shoot with detail something so small and far away. We would get mostly the sides of the tree cavity. Still using the GoPro for other things. See Ugly Birds Gather.
You will get to see more, I promise. Just takes time to have it all working right. š

I’ve daydreamed of building a somewhat elevated platform, a turkey vulture feeder. I would toss road kill up there. Talk about ugly!
