The wind is about 16 MPH and the temp is around 34. Wind chill at the PB courts is around 23. NOT interested. There are some of the group that is going to play but I bowed out.

Which leaves me with a project that I've been working at a pace of the slow TV train video.

Build bird house number 2. Check

Mount it on the fence outside my window. Check

Set up Wyze cameras to watch... in progress

Here is the picture from one of the cams:

It is actually not too bad. I removed the screen but was still worried about the glare. I think I put it up at the worst time for glare so maybe it will be OK. If the glare ends up being too much, I'm thinking about making another small house to put the camera in for the window ledge on the outside. These are indoor cams and I'm not wanting to spend the money right now for outdoor cams or a pinhole one for the birdhouse. If/when the birds actually use the house (Dana recommends VRBO to advertise it) I'll reconsider. But for now I'm going super cheap and easy.

I'll at least clean up the inside ledge and figure out a way to mount the camera I end up using so it looks decent. Run the wires nicely and such.

If you are interested, all that stuff to the right of the birdhouse is barbed wire.  My wife is a Texas girl and confuses barbed wire with decorations.  Fortunately I keep control of the Christmas tree.  This is her collection she put outside my window so I could enjoy it.
