Watch as a flying squirrel takes advantage of the quiet bird feeders to grab a snack. Flying squirrels have long, flat tails, large eyes for seeing in the dark, and a furred membrane stretching between their fore- and hindlegs to help them glide through the forest.
Watch LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/CornellFeeders for news, updates, and more information about the pond and its surroundings.
This FeederWatch cam is located in the Treman Bird Feeding Garden at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York. Perched on the edge of both Sapsucker Woods and its 10-acre pond, these feeders attract both forest species like chickadees and woodpeckers as well as some species that prefer open environments near water like Red-winged Blackbirds.
The Wild Birds Unlimited store at Sapsucker Woods has been a part of the visitor experience in the Cornell Lab’s Visitor Center ever since the new building opened in 2003. They are the preferred vendor of official Cornell Lab merchandise and offer a dizzying number of feeders, binoculars, and birdwatching-related gear and gifts to make any bird enthusiast happy. WBU has also pledged support for many of the Cornell Lab’s local efforts, including providing the bird feeders and food for this FeederWatch Cam.
The FeederWatch cam hardware includes an Axis P1448-LE camera with an ETS ML1-WPW microphone.

![Live Event: Celebrating the Hellgate Ospreys 2026 Season [Recorded August 5, 2026]
Calling all Osprey fans! It was an exciting season watching Iris and Clark raise their first chick together on the Hellgate Osprey Cam. We celebrated this milestone with fellow members of the Bird Cams community during a one-hour live online event took place on Wednesday, August 5.
Throughout the hour, we relived some of the seasons most unforgettable moments with Dr. Erick Greene and researchers Megan Fylling and Sasha Robinson from the University of Montana Bird Ecology Lab (UMBEL), exploring the fascinating world of Ospreys, and getting an inside look at the research helping us better understand the Osprey population in western Montana.
