I have this camera and it does a great job. The only recommendation I have is to keep the camera as far as you can away from the nest. I wish I could zoom out. I have the camera in Super Gourds and can move the camera from gourd to gourd in minutes. I was able to watch 4 eggs hatch, what a sight!
Enjoy

Now that will be a great sight to see them hatching got my adapter in the mail today and it converted the signal to a hdmi cable and it on the big screen pic is amazingly good ,think I will put it in a vertical Troyer think there’s more room up in the top to get it away from the nest a little thanks Richard have a great upcoming season

I agree with the previous comments. The Hawk Eye Camera is great, but its field of view is rather small. So as recommended, place the camera in the tallest gourd you own or modify a gourd to make it taller so you will be able to see the entire nest.
THE MORE ONE LEARNS THE MORE ONE SEES! While the ignorant person sees only a blackbird the enlightened person sees a Purple Martin.
