04/18/07, Miyazu, Japan. Hurray! I've finally started attracting birds to a little platform I set up in a little Japanese maple in my garden, a few meters outside a glass door. That took a while and my challenge now is how spooked they get when I appear, even inside. I've thought of a way now, but haven't had time to try. I'll draw the curtains and just poke my camera lens out! Yesterday there was a lovely green Japanese Nightengale that flew away the instant I appeared. This is a sparrow. I may now have to delay my plans to get a cat...

Terrific capture, Susan! Excellent clarity and composition--the soft blue and green in the background really set off the bird, and the red leaves of the maple are lovely! #4188498Joerg Schlagheck April 20, 2007
Great shot Susan! Yeah I'd wait with that cat. You might be able to get more beautiful images like this if you do. I like your strategy! #4191845
