I'm glad you took my advice, Denise. Making bird setups is a complicated art. Here's my first setup I ever made:


As you can see, it's my squirrel-proof feeder (described in my previous post) and a branch. Simple as that! About half my photos were taken with that setup.

I don't need to bother sharpening that photo [:P]


Setups really aren't that hard. Just make sure you set them up in good light and of course a squirrel proof feeder helps. Maybe some time I'll post a picture of a squirrel being thrown off my feeder [6]


The great thing about setups with a birdfeeder is that not only do you get to play the game your way, but all the birds will be in your yard 24/7 and they'll land on all sorts of photo-good places.


Good Luck Denise!
