I'm a backyard bird feeder and photographer. Had the perfect set up in Missouri for feeding birds and taking their photos from inside the house. We're back in Indiana; I'm still feeding birds, but I just can't arrange the feeders for inside photography. So, I'm looking for a photography blind. I'd like to be able to sit in it while poking the lens through an opening. Any suggestions?
Been using this for 2 years, love it

I use one I got from a sporting goods store...a hunting blind for Turkey shooting. Works really well but you should set it up.....and leave it up so the birds can get acclimated to it near the feeder or feeding area. Heavy duty tent steaks work best.
I responded to this earlier but not with your quote. Still figuring out the forum protocol. You took a great shot. Does the blind have an opening for the camera lens?

Get some PVC pipe and glue. Use Camo material or Green perhaps black material at Home Depot in the garden center, use ties to hold it on to PVC pipes and cut a hole for camera. 5 by 5 is good. Move it were ever. I prefer a chair blind. buy from Cabellas.
