The last couple weeks I have had at least one visitor in the evening checking my regular feeder. I was going to wait till next year to put a feeder out being this season getting so late. I was out at local wally world and seen they had some basic feeders on clearance thought give it a go and wow put it out found the thing within the hour. I hope i get somemore chances to dial some setting in, wow these guys move quickly! Thanks for looking.

Outstanding, Jay; I'd sure clone out the feeder in that first shot, but all in all, they're great.

Super shots and nice use of flash. Was the flash mounted on camera or on a stand? any modifiers?

Thank you sir, the flash was off camera mounted to a stand closer to the feeder. I used a bare 580 exll triggered by pixel kings.

Nice details Jay.

I would suggest leaving a bit more space around the birds in some of these crops so as not to crowd it to close to the edges of the frame.
