    You really wouldn't think from your photographs that it's the same perch in them all. I can clearly see how to make shots more interesting by adding your own background 'scenery.'

    A perch added to the feeder area also serves as a waiting place for youngsters.

    I love that second shot of the fledgling. Isn't he just the cutest baby?
