Abstract: Apparatus for feeding and photographing birds and other wildlife includes a housing defining one or more feeding stations. A module containing a sensor to detect the presence of birds and a camera is configured so that the sensor and the camera have overlapping fields of view. Mounting structures on the housing locate the module with respect to the one or more feeding stations to position the sensor and camera so that the area surrounding one or more of the feeding stations is within the fields of view of the sensor and the camera.

Abstract: A system and apparatus for mounting accessory devices on projectile launching devices is described. Particularly, a mounting system for rangefinders which facilitates rotary movement of mounting elements about multiple axes and linear movement of mounting elements along multiple paths is described. In the case of a device for mounting rangefinders on shooting devices, the mounting device enables the position of the rangefinder to be fixed prior to mounting the rangefinder on the shooting device so that the rangefinder when mounted is aligned and calibrated to the viewfinder of the shooting device. This enables a user to compensate for the trajectory of a projectile over the range or distance between the user and the target.
