Great shot Judy. How are you attracting them? I have very few and they scatter when you come outside. What are you feeding them? Love all your bird shots. Great job! #5454234Judy V. Kennamer February 06, 2008
Thanks everyone!!! I have several feeders in my yard - and a large tree near them. It seems that the birds like to sit in the tree and check out the feeders. They are very particular about where they will eat -- I put a feeder in another part of the yard and they didn't go there. Keep trying spots in your yard - and I use bird seed with several kinds of seeds and dried cherries in it. I buy it at Wal Mart :o) And I built a small blind so the birds can't see me -- #5454986Janet Daniel February 06, 2008
Thanks so much for the tips. I really appreciate it, Judy. :-) #5455003Sandra R. Alvey February 06, 2008
Judy can I come live with you? LOL! Your so very lucky, even with feeders and what not I can't get the birds to come. Of course, I've only seen one cardinal since I've moved here. :(This is just a gorgeous capture hon! Stunning color, focus, and the blurred BG is amazing! #5455146
