    The birds were scared of the camera at first but after a while they would come up and get a drink. I had it sitting quite close pointed at them..

    Your bird bath certainly seems to be a hit with your feathered friends Sherry. What a lovely series of photographs. :-D

    You really have the knack of getting up close. The birds are so cute and it's obvious they were having a great time!

    kuntrygal...those were taken with a BirdCam camera that you can just sit on a tripod or a table to take either close-ups or far away shots. The camera was on a tripod real close to the bird bath...

    That's a really neat way to take closeup on birds :-D

    I like "perfect landing." He looks like he is showing off his considerable talents!
