They're setting up a two man blind near one of their feeders. All you
have to do is call to try and reserve a one hour slot.

I have one of the Feb. 11 and Feb. 25 9:30am time slots. No idea if
there's another opening or not.

They had their first opportunity in January. Wasn't to bad being out
in sub 20 degree weather.

There were a few cardinals, juncos and sparrows.

Thanks for the info. I was able to reserve time for this Sunday.

That's great...I'll be out there Saturday...of course when the weather is suppose to
turn bad again.

Sunday wasn't bad. (I'm sure we had better weather then on Saturday.) I was surprised the blind was too close to the feeders. I wasn't able to use my 500mm lens most of the time. Still, it was a great idea. I hope they do it again.

I ended up not going Saturday due to this stupid cold/cough I can't get rid of.

When I first went in January, I brought my 600, and like you, I found out it was to much.
Probably something in the 100-400 range will be better.

I've suggested they put some seed by that pond, but they never do. So I started bringing
my own seed and placing it near the pond and up on those fence posts.

I asked them about March, but right now they're looking at May as their next opportunity.
