Tom - You know your birds, that is exactly how these guys eat. Swoop down grab a seed and gone. Makes it hard to get a good shot, they are so fast. I have taken some in the tree they fly to, which is right next to the feeder, but I like this shot better. jocko - Thanks! Doug - When I purchased this one a couple of weeks ago, I purchased a sheppard's hook to hang it from so the squirrels couldn't get in it. Now the squirrels hang around and eat what the birds drop. I must say that I am surpised how popular my little feeder has become. FearaJinx - Thanks, cropping is good, but I am afraid the tight crop would not make a very good print, much over a 4x6. I like to get at least a 5x7 or 8x10. Shelia - Here is a tissue, did not mean to make you cry.
