Re: [Shop-talk] Clip-on outdoor wireless camera?

If your woodpeckers are like mine, they enlarged the "Birdhole" vents which 
provide ventilation to the attic and made a nest just inside the hole.  They 
beat on the screening until it let go and also damaged the area around the hole 
quite a bit.  I got into the attic, cleaned up the nest detritus and reattached 
the screening with a multitude of long staples.  Hopefully that will hold.  

Be aggressive with countermeasures. We have an airsoft gun ready.  We don't 
want to injure them, as just the sound of the pellets hitting nearby, makes 
them fly away.  We may also have an older water based fire extinguisher which 
will be filled and primed when/if they come back, maybe with some Cayenne power 
dissolved in the water as an "After Deterrent". 

If you keep going out, they will start getting comfortable and not fly away, do 
you probably don't need a camera.  If you have binoculars you will find the 
damage.  Don't wait.  Discourage them ASAP.  They will cause damage and if 
nesting may be a protected species.

I need to see what the woodpeckers are pecking on, or burrowing in, since they 
fly away "wasn't us!" when I go outside.

I can't find a camera that I can clip on to something (the gutter in this case) 
that also has wireless and is weatherproof. I thought maybe someone here would 
have come across needing the same requirements. 

thanks,
jim
