Great photo Cindy :-)

Have a good week

does the finch crank the knob of the bird feeder himself. Still trying to figure how it's done.

RonW - for a literal response (since I couldn't tell if you were joking or not) there isn't any type of knob on a bird feeder. The openings on the feeder are big enough for the bird to insert its head in order to get to the feed. See http://dustingmybrain.com/images/pf-feeder.jpg

Joost - thank you!

now you're just making me go and buy a 300-500 aren't you? I think you should be submitting to nature magazines instead of calendars ...

Steve -

This is the one I have:

I dont' think my photos are good enough for nature magazines as yet, and the desktop calendar thing came about because someone _asked_ me to submit photos. However, I've put together my own wall calendar and am shopping around for the best price for printing it up.
