So, you want to take pictures of birds in your backyard but you didn’t buy a birdfeeder.
When you don’t have a birdfeeder, the birds have to forage for food.
When birds have to forage for food, they get angry.
When birds get angry, they don’t like to have their pictures taken.
When birds don’t like their pictures taken, they fly into the bushes.
When they fly into the bushes, you can’t get a good a shot of them and then you get angry.
Don’t get angry buy the birds in your backyard a birdfeeder.

This was my first post. Thanks for all of the comments. I don't have a bear problem like rick_reno but I've got SQUIRRELS. A couple of years ago I went to the Anne Arundel County Coop and asked the lady behind the counter if they had any "squirrel-proof" birdfeeders. She looked at me like I just flew in from Mars and then said: "Sir, there are no squirrel-proof birdfeeders.".......

They sure do make squirrel proof feeders. My feeders have to be both squirrel and racoon proof. The racoons like to lift the feeders off their hooks and carry the feeders deep into the woods. :mad:

Hahaha. That is sooooo funny! Oh my... I shouldn't laugh. Easy for me to do so as we don't have squirrels here... :mrgreen: Well, not that I know of...

Anyway, nice shot and welcome to the forum!
