[FONT=georgia,palatino]As my daughter would say..."Saaa-Weeet!". I took one look at the LCD after taking this picture and those were my exact words... "Sweet"! [/FONT][FONT=georgia,palatino]I had been trying to capture one of our Goldfinches for three days on a natural perch. [/FONT][FONT=georgia,palatino]I have a large stump that I put black oil sunflower seed and a branch for a perch, but they will NOT land there. They would perch on my clay pot birdbath, or on my feeder....but they wouldn't land on a "natural" perch. So I removed the man-made perch and found some small twigs and presto!
