My husband found a rusty old vent cover, found on the ground by an abandoned barn, on one of his job sites. It looks like a witch's hat. He thought it might make an interesting roof for a bird feeder. He worked on it last weekend and I painted it blue because I wanted it to stand out. The first visitors were a pair of house finches. Around supper time last night this group of red-wing blackbirds along with their kin the brown headed cowbirds showed up. I grabbed the camera and this is what I got. Nice group shot I thought. Go and visit
Camera Critters today and tomorrow to see other kinds of critters caught by a camera.

Right now we have an abundance of those black birds too...what a beautiful song they sing.
Terrific job on the feeder. Love the idea.
Here's My C C entry - hope you can come by for a visit if you find time.
What a creative bird feeder Val!
Can't believe we are getting snow again; at least it is supposed to warm up and the sun is out now.
Very creative...
Love seeing all birds there :)
