Brought to you by Wild Birds Unlimited – Wichita’s Backyard Bird Experts

Fall is one of the most exciting and fleeting seasons in the bird world. Migration is underway, feathers are changing, and unexpected visitors may pass through your yard in the blink of an eye.

If you’ve ever wished you could spend more time watching your feeders… or spot the birds you missed while at work… then this is the perfect time to upgrade to a smart bird feeder with a built-in camera. 

At Wild Birds Unlimited Wichita, we proudly carry the BeakView Camera Bird Feeder, and fall is hands-down one of the best times to start using one.

Here’s why:

🕊️ 1. Catch Migrants You’d Otherwise Miss

Many birds pass through Wichita during fall migration, stopping briefly in backyards and local parks before continuing south. These visitors—like Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Black-throated Green Warblers, or Lincoln’s Sparrows—can be easy to miss if you’re only outside for a few minutes a day.

A smart feeder lets you capture every visit, even when you’re not home. With motion-detecting video and real-time alerts, you can go back and see who stopped by—no binoculars required.

🔍 2. Snap Photos for Easier Bird ID

Fall plumage can be tricky. Male warblers lose their bold spring colors, and many juveniles look nothing like the field guide illustrations.

That’s where your smart feeder becomes your secret weapon. You can pause video, zoom in, or review high-resolution photos of birds at your feeder to help with identification. Share them with birding friends or upload to apps like Merlin or iNaturalist.

It turns “What was that bird?” into “Wow, look at that!”

👨‍👩‍👧 3. Make Birding More Fun for the Whole Family

Want to get your kids or grandkids excited about nature? Or maybe you just want a fun way to unwind after work?

Watching live bird videos on your phone, tablet, or even casting them to your TV makes bird feeding an interactive, educational activity for the whole family. Plus, sharing adorable bird clips with friends (or on social media) is just plain fun.

You might even name your regulars once you recognize their behaviors and personalities!

🍂 4. Learn More About Bird Behavior in Fall

Birds do all kinds of interesting things in autumn. From caching seeds to migrating in mixed flocks, the fall season is packed with behavior changes that are easy to miss in real time.

With a smart camera feeder, you can watch those moments more closely, observe patterns, and notice things like:

Who visits in the early morning vs late afternoon

What types of seed are preferred as the weather cools

Which birds are caching food—and where

It’s a window into a whole world that often goes unnoticed.
