A different vantage point

I'm continuing to try the trail camera in different locations.  My season of putting out the bird feeder is coming to a close.  Once the trees fill I can't see it as well plus it attracts birds I really don't want (like Common Grackles and various sparrows).  So I thought I would try to move the camera a bit closer to the feeder to see what that would look like.  I tried close-ups last year in my front tree with American Goldfinch but this camera is much better.  It was supposed to be sunny which always helps pick up the markings on a bird but this day was a little overcast so I may need to try again.  Still it was fun to see the activity on the feeder. 

I will try to group by bird type.  It was also hard to choose the images to post so you'll see quite a few here.

First, here is the vantage point...

 
Making sure I have it set up the way I want it...
 
 
You can see it doesn't take long for birds to jump on (look at Russell's back feet)

Grab on!
