First Visitor

Our oldest daughter bought this bird feeder for us for Christmas. It attaches to a window using two suction cups. So far, this is the only bird brave enough to come to it. We think it is caching the seeds somewhere else because of its frequent trips. We are also aware that some small birds will get a seed and take it someplace else to open it as a precaution against predators being that it is out in the open. But having watched Titmice eat a seed before, it takes them a while to crack them open and extract the seed. This one's trips are too short for it to be eating them. [Later we saw two on the feeder so that may explain the frequent trips.]

Having this, I don't have a need of a long telephoto lens.
A great gift from your daughter. I look forward to seeing more shots through the seasons.

@skipt07 Thats right. They are tough to photograph as they grab food and fly away fast where I see them

What a brave soul and a cutie for sure… I think I’d be worried that the birds would fly into the glass of the window.

A cutie for sure. The big black eyes are one of the great things about it.

@kvphoto - One of the Titmice did bump into the window but since it was slowing down to land on the feeder it didn't hit hard.

We got my mother one of those this year too and she absolutely loves it. Titmice are the sweetest looking little birds. Here's hoping you get many more visitors!
