Happy Easter! Boy, you just keep kickin' out the good pics of the pretty, little ones! Beautiful bird and pic! I suppose I should put a feeder to increase my chances of spotting the smaller birds around here, I rarely see them close up.

Feeders do help. Keep in mind it takes a while for the birds to be comfortable around you and your daily routines. I used to have a lot of feeders. Over time, weather and animals destroyed them, and I kinda gave up. A year ago, I put more up because of the photography. Still very skiddish, but getting better.

I have a friend that has had feeders for years. He can sit on his back deck and they'll come and go. Even hand feeds several birds and squirrels. He's invited me to take pictures. They won't show up if I'm there. Even if I'm hiding.

I've found it's easier to go to a busy park. The birds are used to people walking through. Sit on a bench and wait.
