Hack - Looks like you're getting more comfortable with the new camera. I like all the pics, but the two of the Hummer with his wings flapping are special!

Don't be too surprised if it takes a while for the birds to get used to the new feeder. Birds are creatures of habit and sometimes even a slight change can throw them off for a bit. The Nuthatches and Chicadees tend to be more daring (and also more tame). It's not uncommon for them to be the first birds you'll see at a new feeder.

Our Goldfinches are everywhere right now so here are a couple more pics. The 2nd one isn't very good, but I liked their poses. The Hummer female was taken through a double pane window. Unfortunately the sun kind of blew out the highlights.
