Wingscapes Birdcam Discovery Guide - Manual (Page 2)

M
y name is Bart Stephens, and I’m
privileged with the opportunity
to lead the team of dedicated folks at
Wingscapes, makers of the BirdCam.
Development of the fi rst BirdCam
began in 2006. Our goal was simple
and remains so today: deliver a reliable,
easy-to-use camera that takes excel-
lent photos and videos of backyard
wildlife while the user is away. Time,
trial and error, and countless hours of
prototype testing in my backyard led
us to the Original BirdCam, which was
introduced in 2007. Advanced features
included a “smart” motion sensor that
was triggered by bird movement, yet
ignored movement from bird feeders
and tree-branches. Th e simple, no-tool
design allowed users to begin using
their BirdCam minutes after unpacking
it. Th e rugged, weatherproof case and
long battery life made the BirdCam a
low-maintenance tool.
Response to that initial BirdCam
was very positive. Almost immedi-
ately, we began receiving photos from
satisfi ed customers around the U.S.
(and the world). BirdCam owners
were discovering how this tool could
give you a deeper, more candid, more
intimate view of the natural world.
BirdCammers began sharing their
images online with friends and family.

the BirdCam concept began to catch on
with nature enthusiasts everywhere.
We’ve since introduced two subsequent
models: Th e Audubon BirdCam and the
BirdCam 2.0 with Flash. In 2013, we
proudly introduced our most advanced
product ever: the BirdCam PRO.
One of the unexpected joys of
working at Wingscapes has been the
connection we’ve made with passionate
BirdCam users around the world. Every
day we have the thrill of reviewing the
latest images submitted to our online
BirdCam Photo Gallery.
It is our honor to celebrate and
share some of our favorite images with
you in this booklet. All images in this
booklet were taken with one of our
BirdCams. As you look through the gal-
lery of birds, we hope you see how the
Wingscapes BirdCam lets you see your
backyard birds in a new way, revealing
details of bird behavior that we rarely, if
ever, get to see.
