I wanted to get some good close-ups of the birds that are my regular guests at my feeder, so I hung sheets across the room overlooking the windows, and voila, some good portraits of "the usual suspects". ( I did have a hawk, probably a Broad-wing, land on the rail, 4 feet from the feeder. yesterday afternoon; A great, if brief, sight.)

| Here is the back room, overlooking the feeders. |

And here it is, thanks to a few of Susan's sheets, loaned reluctantly. I just hope the portraits
will mollify her. |

All of these (except for the Blue Jay) photos were taken between 7:30-8:00 AM this morning, and between
4:00-4:30 this afternoon (3/22/2015)
