Bird Photographer
Another example of “You can encourage a Chickadee to do anything”.
Huh?
Took the plastic light diffuser cup from my flash, filled it with sunflower seeds and taped it to the back of my old D70..
Put my new camera on a tripod and waited for the actors to show up.
They rarely disappoint.

Well Mr. Greg…you are ingenious…’tis a fantastic, awesome capture. You are the master!
But truly…..you’re such a sneak!!!! Haha! What a great idea! I Love it!!!!
I’m still using my D70 but when something better comes along I’ll be sure to turn it into a bird feeder. Heck I have a good friend that uses old toasters and rubber boots as flower pots!

Thanks Karen. Was getting some strange looks from people at the conservation area when I was setting this one up. (Come to think of it, I always get strange looks from people at the ….).
PS.
You probably shouldn’t leave your rubber boots outside on the porch with friends like that. You may “Dip toe through the tulips” some morning.
groan.
Cheers, Greg.
