Cousin Schultz

Cousin Schultz

Channel content uploads began in March of 2022. Please make yourself at home and have a look around. Hopefully you find something enjoyable. The initial thought was to capture random wildlife around my townhome here in Eagan Minnesota, USA by using inexpensive V3 WYZE cams.

In April of 2022, I purchased my first quadcopter. Knowing current laws insist drones remain within visual line of sight, I decided to go with a DJI Mini SE. I received the drone April 28. Then on May 11, I applied for the Remote Pilot - Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) certificate through the FAA. After going the self paced study route for about two weeks, I nearly aced the exam. This new found licensed knowledge has brought me much joy. I hope these videos do the same for you.

Being a "part -107" certified remote pilot ensures I follow the rules while still having a lot of fun. When it comes to when and where to fly, I now have the utmost confidence on how to safely proceed.

    Battle of the seed tray. The cardinal must be feeding babies?

  • @CousinSchultz
    @CousinSchultzКүн бұрын

    Yeah, I think you are right about that. Hopefully we will get to see more juveniles again this year. Last year there were two males and two female juvenile Cardinals that started coming to the feeder. The feeder is free game for all of the Cardinals after the mating season ends. We are a few months away from that. Surprisingly, Cardinals can have up to three broods a year. With the mild winter we had, they just might be able to pull it off this year.

    I removed seven of the little stinkers from the neighborhood over a two day period. Since doing so, none of those remaining have gone for the feeder. You will still see them running around on the ground, but that is fine. With this being the case, I have suspended the relocation program. 😊

    🤣 I managed to remove seven squirrels from the neighborhood. I think I must have moved all of those that were eating from the feeder. It has been two full days without any squirrels at the feeder. Hopefully those that remain in the area continue to stay away from the feeder! Thanks for your views, likes, and comments.

    No chance I am feeding squirrels. My neighborhood is infested as it is. The infestation was caused by people feeding them. A neighbor used to have a ground feeder out with endless amounts of food. The ground feeder went away and now those squirrels are invading all of the neighborhood birdfeeders. My relocation program should definitely help. Four were removed from the neighborhood today alone.

    Basically I am making my own right now. I guess they get used to it or something? They certainly are not eating it like they were prior to adding the cayenne pepper. I managed to relocate a whole family of them today. I am sure they will enjoy their new life down by the Minnesota river. 😁 I doubt they find their way back as they would have to cross highway 13 and 35E. A neighbor suggested spray painting part of their tail orange so I would know if they made it back. I thought that would be cruel though. I think their chances of making it back are slim at best.

    Thanks for leaving a comment. The Sparrows are more than welcome at my feeder. With that said, the only Sparrows that visit are the small Chipping Sparrows, which are super friendly and very cute. I am still trying to figure out how to keep the squirrels away. Cayenne pepper is helping, but I think a mama squirrel is getting used to it. 🙄
