Heuristic, not a promise. It combines buck visits at the nearest camera in the same time window over the last 45 days, extra weight for visits at similar temperatures, and whether the Open-Meteo forecast wind carries your scent away from the feeder. Moon phase is shown for context and is not scored.

Feeder check
| Camera | Feeder | Status | Visits/day (3 d) | Baseline (28 d) | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SkyBox | corn feeder | Looks normal | 5.3 | 6.6 | |
| Front Porch | corn feeder | Looks normal | 1.7 | 1.8 | |
| Front Porch Protein | protein feeder | Looks normal | 3.3 | 6.7 | |
| Camp | corn feeder | Looks normal | 3.0 | 7.2 | |
| Crossroads | corn feeder | Looks normal | 5.7 | 7.5 | |
| Back Forty Protein | protein feeder | Camera issue | — | — | camera silent 11 days — check camera battery/signal first; can't judge the feeder |
| Back Forty | corn feeder | Looks normal | 2.3 | 2.6 |
A best guess from photos, not a sensor. A feeder is flagged only when animal visits fall below about a third of its own baseline, or a photo note mentions no corn or a downed feeder. A camera that has gone quiet is treated as a camera problem.
