As long as I keep seed in the feeder, these little guys will keep coming and posing.

Nice photo! It's very sharp and detailed. Let's hope you get more visitors like that one.

Thanks, jmacias. I get so many of them coming around.... and I had accumulated so many photos of them, I finally just quit.

Nice BOB (bird on branch) portrait. The colorful background really brings out the brown-white of this bird, and the branch is at a nice jaunty angle. Good Composition. Thanks.

Thanks, Ted. The colors were from a piece of cloth I hung on the fence behind the bird. The branches were added to the birdhouse post for convenience sake. It worked like a charm. That simple set-up provided me with lots of fun and some fair photographs.

Beautiful detail, light and background. Is your set up still set up? Or did you take it down for winter?

Thanks for the comments, Dave. I took down the cloth but the frame is semi-permanently attached to the fence. The birdhouse is a permanent fixture.

Beautiful detail. The background bokeh is perfect for the shot.

Of course they come - no reason to work for a living when you can accept a 'bribe', and the only 'cost' is an occasional photo.

Winter is when I put up the feeders.
This land produces more than enough to feed them during the Spring, Summer, and Autumn.
