Today I must have seen 5 or 6 and that was just when I was watching : ) It is good to see that the pictures are coming out well, I was afraid that through the glass it might not pick up the detail in the shots, but as you can see it looks pretty darn good if I do say so myself. <br /><br />I know you can't really get a good look at the bird, but you are welcome to guess the species!

It is attached directly to the door wall in my house by my computer. This way when a bird comes to the window I should be able to get a shot of it without scaring it away... time will tell I guess. <br /><br />I know that I have seen many birds right outside of this very doorwall taunting me so I have a good feeling about this! The plants that you see in the background will fill in later this spring and flower in the summer... just wait it will be a spectacular display of color and a great background for the birds!<br /><br />No birds today though... I guess you will just have to keep waiting patiently. I am sure they will catch on soon and this site will finally get a bit of action!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37586446-4485361138137611330?l=michiganbirdfeeder.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>1Green Thumbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14960796089036943537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37586446.post-90763065677522960602007-01-25T16:27:00.000-08:002007-01-25T16:40:10.271-08:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ckBlasgNSzg/RblLKE5Be4I/AAAAAAAAAyk/tbNfNrtA2bo/s1600-h/A+Bird+At+A+Birdfeeder.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ckBlasgNSzg/RblLKE5Be4I/AAAAAAAAAyk/tbNfNrtA2bo/s400/A+Bird+At+A+Birdfeeder.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5024129495792188290" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Visual proof that there actually are birds at this birdfeeder...</span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37586446-9076306567752296060?l=michiganbirdfeeder.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>1Green Thumbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14960796089036943537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37586446.post-43175072373083453902007-01-18T13:46:00.000-08:002007-01-18T13:51:44.811-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ckBlasgNSzg/Ra_rYDkg33I/AAAAAAAAAts/6ik7D0KDdkk/s1600-h/Ducks+A+Plenty.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ckBlasgNSzg/Ra_rYDkg33I/AAAAAAAAAts/6ik7D0KDdkk/s400/Ducks+A+Plenty.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5021490908049235826" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ckBlasgNSzg/Ra_q6jkg32I/AAAAAAAAAtk/gARAqEVt7c8/s1600-h/Ducks.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ckBlasgNSzg/Ra_q6jkg32I/AAAAAAAAAtk/gARAqEVt7c8/s400/Ducks.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5021490401243094882" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hey they are still birds, but probably not the kind you were imagining being here!
