The adults are bringing the newly fledged youngsters to the suet feeder. It was raining today but still couldn't resist getting some images

Thanks, I saw that too and looking at closely it is the edge of the bark that has been peeled back so I didn't fix it but I thought about it. You can actually see that line on the perch when looking through the camera so I should rotate the perch slightly. It is very heavily overcast and no backlight.

You did a great job with this little girl, Joel. What a huge improvement in colors from a few weeks ago!!! Super exposure and amazing details. Love all the strong colors. Gotta love her hairdo too!

At first it looked dark (and it is) but I love the mood it is giving you here...works quite well. Great perch with tons of character to it.

Thanks. Yes, it is back yard set up.

I am very interested in your setup in your backyard. I have been slowly putting up houses in my yard but was wondering how others set it up.
