Through a window

Jon hung a feeder from the underside of an overhang out our living room. Makes capturing through-the-window-shots, such as this one of a red-breasted nuthatch, a little easier.

Like bird photos? Check out Jon's blog at http://northernillinoisbirder.blogspot.com/. He'd be tickled if you popped in and left a comment.

    Checked out Jon`s site, thanks for sharing.

    The bokeh is perfect for your image. You must be busy polishing the glass on the windows. LOL

    Nice capture through the window! Unfortunately, if I put a feeder out, the raccoons and squirrels would get to it before the birds.

    Great shot and so much detail in his face and feathers.

    Great shot of a Red-breasted Nuthatch. It's difficult to get a nice sharp pic of them, because they don't sit still long enough for a good focus.

    Your bird photos and John's photos are just perfect! Love them all. I need to get out more to get some bird photos. I missed the woodpecker in the tree this AM. And someone said there has been an Owl around too. Would love to get that!

    Jon's bird photos are really pretty too and well shot. I like his iguana shots too. You have inspired me to get more bird shots.

    I wonder if the birds get as much out of these feeders, as us photographers do?

    Pefect focus--it's tough to get a through the window shot without glare.

    I am truly enjoying your photos of the birds! I was saying we should put in a bird feeder and my son wanted to know why? When I said for pictures, I just got that look that only a teenage boy can give his mom!

    Jon has some really nice shots!
