First you get a feeder to stick on the window.

Then you take yer 'point & shoot' and fire away with flash. Voila! Down to the nitty gritty. :D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks everyone. I'm glad you enjoyed looking at the 'telephoto' shots.

    Stephen, believe it or not I do the windows however, just that one for clarity. :D

    I'm still envious of all you folks with the DSLRs and the good lenses. The absolute quality pictures you post just pushes everyone else to improve. Been a lot of fun and a great learning experience for me here at DGrin.

    My brother-in-law bought it for me but I think you can read in that first picture where it came from. Don't mean to plug them, don't know if that's legal on here.

    Yep. One of my cats discovered it the day after I put it out. He got so tired of 'chasing' birds that he fell asleep on the cabinet under the window. :D
