Nice shot of the Blue-headed Vireo! BTW, I used to have that feeder too. It worked great against the squirrels but not the rats. The leaf would close over the hole and the rats would just chew through the plastic and make their own hole. If you don't have to worry about rodents, then it's a great feeder.

Red, excellent Willet shot! A friend of mine told me about a place called Paradise Pond? I've already forgotten which NWR it's in, but he described it as having all of Boy Scout woods birds in 1/8 the amount of area. I think it's a lot further away though.

I just almost took my best shot of a house finch ever. Unfortunately, he has a bit of dead thing covering his face. I accidentally had the macro setting on. Didn't even know I could use full zoom with macro. He was right outside my window, but it never occurred to me to use the macro setting before. Now, I have to rethink everything!
