Great detail
And this one wanted to stay just inside the shaded spot to make it hard to get a good crisp shot

Thank you @Deezy for the identification. I would never have looked for this bird in the sparrow family.
@Marilynne do not tell me this is a Warbler!!

Great bird shots, Mike!
Well, my feeders are well stocked and they seem to want to eat more than they want to fly off when I am in my "shooting window" position. It is the only way to get the small birds close enough to get detail shots. I don't like shooting down onto a bird but from my blind position I have no choice there.
The towhee shot wasn't very sharp and took a lot of processing to make it just so-so. I posted it just to get an ID on the bird.
As to skittish, yes they are if I show too much of my face through the window, but, that happened when I was born too. I scared the nurses and the doctor slapped me and my momma.
Yes it is. Sorry I'm late, to many threads to look through and I can't seem to catch up.

I buy a "Birding Mix" of seed, I buy different flavors of Suet and for the Jays I put out cat kibble. I spread some of the seed around on the ground for the ground birds, some goes into a bird feeder for the little guys and I put some of all of it on a large piece of fallen pine tree bark that makes a nice big dish. That dish fell onto a growth of wild grape vines and sits about three feet off the ground and is almost a perfect distance from my viewing window.

Wasn't very photographic today as I had to work. But I took advantage of it and got some real nice portraits of one of the cats that is staying with us. I wish all pets would be this cooperative! This guy was purrfect!!
Sorry for posting so many of him all over here today. It was really all I had.

This is a grew shot of a very nice cat. My girlfriend just loved it on first sight.
Are you sure that's a robin Mike?? Looks like some sort of warbler to me!!
Maybe it is a Red Breasted Warblin!
He is such a sweet kitty too and he is just gorgeous. My favorite shot is actually this one that is similar.

Don't apologize. I take a lot of opportunistic feline photos. BTW, nice shot. I am partial to black and white cats.
@piperbarb they sure photograph well. Nice contrast
And some cats love to have their picture taken, while others see the camera and run screaming in the opposite direction. I have one that loves to ham it up, another ignores me, one goes waddling down the hallway away from me as fast as he can, and the fourth one is Demon Spawn and it depends on her mood.
Your cat seems to like the attention.
