Shift your birding focus to your home with these cheep but never cheap products.
Watch the birdy – in his home
You would love to see the baby robins in your birdhouse this spring, but your mother taught you that good hosts don’t disturb their guests, even if their accommodations are alfresco. Solve the dilemma with the Night Owl night vision camera, which lets you observe your feathery friends without disrupting their habitat. Just attach the minicamera inside the birdhouse, plug the 100-yard cable into your computer or TV and transmit a family-friendly peep show. $79. WINDYCITYPARROT.COM
