When it rains, it pours! And this past month, I have just had user errors in torrents, proving that even with a product as easy to use as the BirdCam that there can be bad days. Just in June alone I have forgotten to turn the camera on, locked my SD card, picked bad camera angles, overlooked high summer sun, and targeted dead zones (bird-wise). And yesterday was something of the bottom of the barrel, as what should have been a perfectly aimed and focused survey of a platform feeder was marred when my feeder tree shifted in the wind and a tube feeder blocked the view most of the day. All in all, I have had crummy sessions on twelve of the past twenty two days of June. My bag: a mere 20 keepers (compared to 43 last month.) Sigh. One gets back on the horse and keeps trying. Perhaps July will make up for this run of bad karma.

User Error Spoils June
When it rains, it pours! And this past month, I have just had user errors in torrents, proving that even with a product as easy to use as the BirdCam that there can be bad days.
