Beautiful images, I really enjoy seeing all your works. Where did you find all those birds? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks very much, Tenny. I shoot right from my office/studio window. In fact, I shoot THROUGH my office/studio window as I'm a fair-weather photog. :D :D A few years ago I built a feeding station out there and it attracts TONS of birds. Then, 2-3 years ago a rare hurricane moved through this area and I built a new one from storm debris that lends a more natural look to my images. I feed black oil sunflower seeds, Nyjer thistle seeds, corn, and suet to attract a wide variety of birds. Although, I change the position of some the individual feeders on occasion, it looks something like this.

Great shots here Gary. I love the way and your timing capturing the tongue.
Your bird feeder set up looks great. I think I must reasurrect a couple of old bird feeders I have.

Thanks for telling us all of that Garry. Wow, you could shoot through the window and you still got the amazing sharpness of your images.
You sure have a great bird's feeder. It's not common here to feed the wild birds. There are not much wild birds live in the city anymore, specially the beautiful ones. Some irresponsible people had caught them to be sold at the bird's market:(

You're welcome, Tenny. It's too bad about your bird population. I blame people's desire to buy the birds as much as the people that are selling them. If there is no market, the trade stops.
