A Chipping Sparrow on our Pedestal Feeder

Flickr member cminer52's among my favorite bird photographers. Gary often photographs songbirds on a stump he's repurposed as a feeder. Joan, knowing I was jealous, suggested we make our own stump--so we did so, using an old birdbath base for a pedestal and balancing a broken stepping-stone atop it.

All in all, it's worked out pretty well.

A year ago my 366 Snaps photo was of a Starling at one of the feeders. Turns out you can't feed the birds you want without attracting Starlings. At least around here.

A price I'm willing to pay, I must say.

This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps.

Number of project photos taken: 91
Title of "roll:" Birds at Feeders
Other photos taken on 5/11/2012: I labelled the folder "Daily Flower Census and Birds." It's got a few images of our Columbine, but it's also mostly birds on the pedestal feeder.
