Post by: seth30 on May 10, 2010, 01:29:20 PM: nice way to catch the bird. How long did you stay there before the bird showed up, or was it a spur of the moment thing??

Post by: seth30 on May 10, 2010, 01:57:50 PM: Cool,

I have three feeders in my back yard, and a hummingbird feeder in the front. My favoirite is the yellow birds that show up from time to time. They are very shy though and fly away when i get close to the window. While the finches are so tame I could almost pick them up.

Thanks, the Pileated is one that keeps eluding me. I almost had one up at Tiger last year, was just focusing and he bailed. Very tough bird to get focused on, always moving.
