Finding birds and mammals with thermal infrared. February 7, 2015. The birds were hanging out in good numbers at Sapsucker Woods this morning, and were decorating the trees like Christmas lights when seen via the Therm-App. Mostly) House Finches in the "staging trees" by the boardwalk near the Sapsucker Woods feeder garden.

Infrared Birding: Screech Owl
http://infrared-birding.blogspot.com/2015/03/screech-owl.html
Finding birds and mammals with thermal infrared. March 2, 2015. This morning the chickadees were complaining insistently in the spruce tree outside, and when I pointed my Therm-App at the ruckus, I saw this:. The spot on the left is a complaining chickadee fitting about, the blob on the right was something bigger. Here's another angle. With the yellow box showing the frame of the Therm-App view. And the identity of our mystery guest? My first infrared-discovered owl! And a new yard bird, to boot.

Finding birds and mammals with thermal infrared. February 15, 2015. Yesterday afternoon, with the temperatures still in the "balmy 20s" before an approaching snow squall was to bring in a sub-zero cold wave, I decided to take a stroll to Potter's Falls and the Upper Dam of Six-Mile Creek, snowshoeing through about a foot and a half of snow. Along the way were some nice icicle formations, which was interesting when viewed with the Therm-App:. Here's another block of ice. The image above also shows a big c...
