I thought I would start a thread for bird feeder pictures.
Most of these are from last summer... |

Nice photos! They all seem so sharp and bright; how did you do that?

How did I do that? Part luck, I guess. For every picture that is posted, there is probably 20 more pics of that same bird, that aren't as good.
That particular feeder is up against a bluff, so it gets just the right light in the morning. The background is dark and the light is coming from behind where I am sitting. I always get good pictures there in late morning, just as the sun comes over the bluff, but before the light fills the background. I have a big lens (400 mm) so I can get sharp close ups. You can see male grosbeak on the ground, he is in the shade, so he is not as sharp and bright as the others. |

Good grief, Sage. You have a condo with an HOA?

All condos have them! But they provide maintenance, landscaping, poisons for the lawn, swimming pool, snow plowing and RULES!

Well, with RULES too, what a deal! ROFLMAO.......hmmm, I can see condo's are not going to be an option down the line. DH has rather er, "strong" opinions about this sort of thing.

Here are a few shots of bluebirds at our feeders just the other day. Shots 2-4 were taken while it was raining.
