What????

Greg & Verena...I have the same type of ''filter'' when I shoot my feathered friends.Your timing was good on this firery guy as he had an eye on you.Salutations-Laurent

Laurent- maybe we should get a patent for our special "filter" :)

Most birds will let me set up a tripod on the inside of the window, then click it remotely- but even the existence of the camera in view will keep the cardinal away. I had to sneak up on it to get this one and wasn't able to open at least the inside (dirtier) window.

Greg & Verena..You do the paperwork for the US patent and I'll do the same up here.My birds are hungry as I am the only Seed Restaurant open for business and all else is covered by 4-5 ft of snow/frozen solid...so maybe they are more tolerant;I don't use a tripod(I never do),but set myself on a chair near the window and if I don't move,I can get most,even the Blue Jays which are the most suspicious.Salutations-Laurent
