Hello, ron! Thanks for the welcome and the pointers on the bird feeders. I'm on the hunt for pretty nifty ones (either that, or I'll make them). I think the branches are a good idea. It's just my luck. I have some left after making the "bird tree" for my lovies.
On the other hand, would you guys know of any other lens that is pretty reasonably priced but has a better reach?
