If pop culture is to be believed, there’s an age where birdwatching becomes extremely appealing. It’s a slow-burn hobby that rewards patience and a knack for observation (think Detective Cordelia Cupp in “The Residence”). But if you can’t tell a Yellow-throated Longclaw from an Eastern Meadowlark, you might need a little help from an AI-powered identification system and an always-on backyard camera. Amazon’s running a limited-time sale (or until stock flies away) on smart bird feeders with built-in 2K cameras and AI bird recognition, which give you the thrill of birdwatching at home without the binocular neck strain or standing around.

This solar-powered 2K camera with AI recognition is basically a paparazzi setup for your native species, capturing pictures and video automatically. This connected bird feeder sends alerts to your phone whenever a feathered guest drops by, so you won’t miss any visitors. Two solar panels keep it running for up to 180 days, and the swappable red/yellow flower nectar feeders both attract hummingbirds and are ridiculously photogenic.

Dual solar panels and a 5200mAh battery keep this bird feeder’s camera running, while nectar feeders, fruit forks, and a jelly feeder attract a wider variety of feathered friends. The built-in Wi-Fi lets you watch from anywhere and share images with friends or on social media. It comes with a 30-day free trial of AI ID so you can identify visitors without squinting at a bird guide.

Another slightly more wallet-friendly version with the same waterproof, dustproof camera smarts and snack station setup, available at its cheapest price in over 30 days. It’s a great time to awaken your inner ornithologist, or just be the perfect gift for family and friends.
