A few of you kind folks have asked for more of my bird photos, so here are a few with a new prop.
A piece of firewood had a cavity in it so I put peanut butter and seeds inside.
This was a test run, through a glass door, handheld, with a slow zoom.
Tripod, remote, and faster lens for my next attempt.
I was lazy, so these are auto-enhanced.

Tufted titmouse:

The mini kettle is still an option again this winter.

But maybe add some weight.

Thanks for letting me give you all the bird!

Certainly Mike, very happy you think it's worthy.
I could point out some of its faults, but wont.

Cool photos, the weber birdfeeder is too much.

Good stuff Bob! Really like that first one - great bokeh. And the Cardinal with the red kettle is a classic.

Bob, you have some steady hands and some clean windows. I love those photos and envy your skills. The Cardinal is certainly the Alpha "Dog".

Thanks so much everyone!

Mike, I'm gonna take your avatar as being a St Louis Baseball Cardinal, not the football team that deserted us for the desert.

As it should be Bob...and as far as football is concerned I'm a Rams fan!

Now, if the St. Louis Hawks would just come back... (but baseball has always been my favorite!)

As a former East-er, Cardinals and Mocking birds are the two I miss the most. Thanks Bob.
