Feeding time at the zoo!

That's a funny expression but it felt true last Sunday.  It was a nice sunny day and I was putting out my feeder and literally birds starting coming closer in the trees.  Particularly my not shy White-breasted Nuthatches.  I thought one might light on the feeder as I was putting it up.  The pictures below don't do the closeness justice but a few were less than 10 feet away on trees going up and down.

And now from my usual spot at the fence...

What I like to call a combo shot

 

And Nuthatches finish the afternoon session

 

 

Okay now it's suppertime and here come the deer for a close-up...

 

 

 

A couple of nice shots to show the white tails

 

And now time for the overnight shift...
