A beautiful capture, ottercreek. I'm wondering why you didn't hang a sock full of seed on that pretty hanging basket. Happy shooting in 2019!!! 
You might wish to check out my other postings of "backyard birds". I feed 'em plenty! These bluebirds will now hang around my suet and sunflower feeders until April, at least. I try to set feeders up so the shots will look a bit more natural. I really was caught off guard the way the red berries brought the birds in! Thanks for looking, and appreciate your comments!

Gorgeous Shot. Nest year do it with real berries and stuff.
That HAS been on my mind. Sure wish I could get a photo of a Kingfisher as well done as yours!

Great shot!! Keep on posting.
I haven’t posted a pic on here yet or inquired about something where I didn’t get someone’s off handed remark.
Just developed a harder turtle shell by being here.

Thanks for looking! I'm pretty thick skinned after having lectured 800 to 1200 college students in one class for over 20 years (doing the REAL teaching when small groups of students would visit my lab to ask questions). In this particular instance re the bluebirds, I, myself, likely would have commented re the possibility of birds eating the plastic berries, although most likely it would have involved young, immature birds. Sincerely appreciate your "dead on" comments, however!

Beautiful. Who says bluebirds are bird-brains? They know the difference between real fruit and an artificial come-on.
Absolutely! And they don't seem to be shy about feeding amongst flickers and woodpeckers. They will creep in as close as they can and are quite opportunistic. They don't mess around with mockingbirds, however! Thanks for looking.

Wow, right now I would like to see just one bluebird. I expect those little guys did a bit of 'decorating' of their own before they left. Expect it might have been a statement about the fake berries.
Yep! Note the one female looking at the camera, likely wondering who the clown is that set her up!
We usually start getting bluebirds coming in for fat this time of year, and they will hang around until April or so. Seems to be the same family, and they have been coming in for 3-4 years now.
