Getting Close

Getting Close



       I love getting extremely close to the birds to take their picture.   In order to do so, I have to get them to come near my picture window.   So, I sprinkle seed on the top of my porch railing.

       IT works pretty well.   Here is a junco and a sparrow happily munching away.

       The cardinal seems happy with this arrangement, too.

  1. Very clever, and it seems to work well.
    Happy Valentine’s Day to you and yours. :)

  2. That’s a great idea Elise! I love the little “ice beard” Mr. Cardinal is wearing.

    I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

  3. Happy Valentine’s Day!
    Great pictures. It looks like the cardinal ate a donut with powdered sugar. ;)

  5. Nice bait! I see you NE Ohioans are not snow-free quite yet! We had snow on the ground this morning but it has pretty much gone away.

  6. Great pictures, Pigeon. That’s one reason I have all of my feeders on or near the deck. I can sit and watch the birds and get pictures up close and personal!!!! NEAT shots especially of the Cardinal.

    Hope your weekend is going well.
    Hugs,
    Betsy
