Our Japanese maple tree has become quite the popular hang out spot for all of the neighborhood sparrows and finches lately. This gang showed up a little earlier in the day than usual, i.e. when the lighting was still good, and didn’t seem to pay any heed to me poking the big giant lens out of my kitchen window at them.

If anything, this may be a little too close for the Bird Lens. This is rather the opposite of my usual problem.

    Yes, ours could easily fit four or even six birds to a feeder but they only seem to coexist in numbers up to pairs. Any time more than two of them land on the feeder they seem to spend more time pecking each other than managing to actually hork down any seed.

    We have two of these (of course they’re 3D printed, they could only be more on brand if I forged them out of stainless steel) and the rest of the crowd either sits on the shepherd’s hook and glares or lurks in the nearby tree waiting for a chance to horn in.
