Does anyone else have any interesting backyard feeders,I am sure lots of you have much nice than I do!!Home made? Can I see them? Or bird shots. The activity in my backyard has increased greatly with warmer weather, these are from today.With a better lens in the next few weeks I am hopping to get better shots.The tree that the feeders are on is shaded by the time I get home so I usually have low light levels!Small critter pics Please!

I fill up the feeder some times, but I am not much of a student of bird watching......so I have no idea what these are.

Nice photos Dim7.

My backyard feeder is a constant source of willing subjects for me - we have recently had a beautiful Northern Flicker visiting us:

Yes, nice capture of that Flicker. Mine are so loud that I know when their coming. I'm usually to slow getting the camera and getting set up! You did great.

Thanks for the compliment. Pepper is about 2 years old. He is a quaker parrot, illegal in some states (cal. i know for sure) due to reasons that they may reproduce in the wild too much. I live in FL in all the large light posts, (soccer fields) these birds build HUGE nests. Once again, thanks for the compliment. By the way, there is a print availible, so you can see pepper all day long. :)

I just have one feeder outside, but I get quite a collection of critters. This was a cardinal and woodpecker shot through a window.

Two days ago, I had a cardinal and bluebird on the feeder together, but couldn't get the camera fast enough. I put up a hummingbird feeder last year, but rarely saw any. Caught this one at a relative's house last summer (also through a window)...
