Birds in the Hood

Titmice and chickadees are heavily represented, because the feeder has been specifically decked out to attract and accommodate them. Safflower is the primary constituent of the seed with a pinch of sunflower hearts and just a few peanuts. The coffee can lid keeps larger birds out, for the most part. (The neighborhood cardinals have figured out how to perch briefly underneath in order to nab a seed or two at a time.) I'm shooting through a single pane of glass which degrades the image sharpness.
