Ezo Squirrel & Wild Bird Feeder Cam

A Woodland Feeding Station

This camera watches over a carefully arranged garden feeder tucked into the forests of Hokkaido. Hanging baskets, wooden trays and small perches invite a steady procession of hungry visitors, while a curtain of green foliage frames the scene like a natural stage.

Meet the Ezo Squirrels

The stars of the feed are the region's endemic Ezo squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris orientis), a Hokkaido subspecies known for its tufted ears and bushy tail. Watch them scamper along the perches, cache seeds and perform acrobatic leaps between the branches.

Birds and Larger Wildlife

A rotating cast of wild birds — tits, sparrows and other forest species — flits in to feed alongside the squirrels. Shy red foxes and elegant Ezo deer also make surprise appearances, drawn by the scattered offerings.

A Window into Hokkaido's Wildlife

For nature lovers and wildlife watchers, this feeder offers an intimate, ever-changing portrait of the animals that share Japan's northern woodlands, all from a single quiet corner of the forest.
