Really sharp. Nice shot. Did you use flash for this shot?

[Scottes]

Thanks Liv. Thanks Tengr - this was natural light, bright sunlight. I've gotten quite used to shooting the chickadees that visit my feeder.

These are nice... I like the head tilt on the 2nd one! Is 7ft away your lucky distance?

Is 7ft away your lucky distance?
Nah, I just adjusted both branches on SuperFeeder to give me good odds. The Chickadees and Goldfinches like this branch, everything else likes the other branch. I was tired of seeing birds only on the far branch, so I adjusted and made them the same distance away from my shooting spot.

The adjustable features of this SuperFeeder make this one a winner. I switched out all the feeder-hangers because they were in some of the pics. Now the birds *always* land on the branches before moving down to the feeders, rather than flying directly onto the feeders as they often did. I don't know why they do this. But it works for me.
