More backyard birds

[HL45]

I'm trying to tweak my setup (studio) to get some better shots of the same old birds.

Thanks for the replies! Outdoor studio, I can move the whole setup to shoot from my kitchen window when the weather sux. Tweaking the placement of the feeder and ground blind along with new perches for the birds.
I added a bluetooth speaker and actually called in the Wren and Titmouse. The Titmouse wouldn't land on the perch but did come to the call. Hope that helps. This article has some good info on setting up. Backyard Bird Photography Setup Tips
