[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 305101, member: 4399"] I'm slowly getting into birding and have begun creating a birding spot in my backyard. Unfortunately, I have a small yard, no view and a chain link fence. Thinking forward I planted a bunch of Blue Princess Holly to create a backdrop (in about 5 years it should cover the fence). This holly also produces berries which the bird eat in the winter. I set up a feeding area, bath and made a temporary backdrop for when I'm shooting (I'm too impatient for the holly :)). I picked up the blind a few days ago, works great and folds into a small disc. I'm getting within about 15 feet of the birds now. I do need a new lens (of course), 200mm works, but I'm still cropping more than I would like.
