Feeder Photography

I have embraced an experiment using a game camera to monitor one of the bird feeders. 

It is an intriguing theoretical notion however with the birds flitting and out and about along with the breeze moving a feeder from time-to-time the motion-activation feature is working overtime.  Case in point - 444 photos in roughly two hours!

The current fix is to power-up the camera for short intervals when the lighting is optimal and the winds are calm.  That keeps the sheer volume of photos manageable and allows for better photo composition. 

Some specimen photos are included in this post. 

Since the Orioles began arriving a week ago we’ve had to open another 30 ounce jar of grape jelly.
