Camera Critters #96 - bird feeders

Camera Critters by Misty Dawn, go here to see who's participating.

A bird feeder can be an important help when photographing birds. The Cardinal is a neat bird that comes to my feeder. The male has such great colors in the Winter. There is a bird flying out of focus behind this one.
The Grackles do also come and put on a show, they are a very noisy bird.
The Morning Dove and the Gray squirrel also feed.
The Whitetail Deer also enjoy a bite.
The Black Squirrel eats the corn and the bird seed.

I do hope you had fun with the critters at my bird feeders.

  7. Oh --you know I have fun with my birdfeeders---constantly!!!!!

    Looks the feeder is at a perfect location for the deer. I'll bet he thinks that is there JUST for him...

    Did you get alot of snow? We got a dusting here ---but it is pretty.

  8. Hello dear Tom,
    First of all, I don't want to repete myself but I DO LOVE YOUR HEADER! Please, put this fabulous moment, I mean shot, in your sidebar when you will change the header! :)
    Well, I have a great smile now because I love your friends, love the sweet deer, the smart squirrel, and the others little friends.
    Your post brings to me so good feelings!
    This week I didn't have time to prepare Luna's post, I know...it's a shame...She is really upset with me, but she needs to understand that big brother ( my son ) is coming back to Brazil, to the University, in the next days, and I'm enjoy some time with him, going out and travelling as well ( today we had some shop in Belgian and tomorrow I intend to go to Germany to have lunch - Luxembourg is located in a strategic position in Europe!) ;)
    Have a great Sunday my friend
    Hugs
    Léia

  12. Always enjoy seeing your backyard critters Tom. The Grackles look a little frosted. And I have to chuckle every time I see a squirrel on the wooden tryke.

  31. Birdfeeders are so much fun! Yours doubles as a deer feeder, how cute is that! And triples as a squirrel feeder, too. I've never seen a black squirrel before. Didn't even know they existed. They are pretty cool. ~ks

    We have had a busy time at our feeders too, but no deer :o(
    Take care!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Yes, I did!
    But I have a question.
    Is that a feather sticking up on the deer's back?
    I told you they would sprout wings!!!
