Great Backyard Bird Count Photo


Male Cardinal at feeder...too bad it was so gray outside (thus meaning the ISO was set to 1600 - thus the grainy).

I went out on Monday morning and tried to get some pictures of the birds, not too bad...not too bad.

I think that's a very nice photo. Have the squirrels helped themselves to the birdseed yet?

I love the cardinals!!! You should post your other pics. I took photos during the GBBC too, but all through the window. Some turned out ok. It would have been better outside (easier to focus propoerly) but our birds are so skiddish (I think because the trees here are so small they don't feel like they have a good escape place).

@ Roberta - the squirrels always help themselves - I have a platform feeder that I put nut mix + black oil sunflower seeds in specifically so they can eat it if they want. The squirrels haven't bothered the feeder pictured, nor have they tested the tube feeders.

@ Amy - Thanks! my in laws got it for me for Christmas. It's 'made' by a local lady - Kami's Creations (my in laws got it at a craft fair, but they are also sold at the Natural Gardener)

@ Bond - I would, but they're all crap. Okay not really - they're just not all that good either. I have a picture of the Rufous hummingbird, but since I took it from the front yard looking toward the feeder, the fence gets in the way. Thus, Crap.
