Dear All, Thanks again for all your help and suggestions. I have just tried some shots and want to load with this message. But I still cannot figure out how to load photos with this message. Happy New Year to you all!
Now I figured out how to attach files. I need to use reply option. Anyway here are some of my shots with the principle that no light behind. No reflection on the glass. Clean glass, etc. Thanks!

My suggestion is that only buy from authorized dealers. I use Nikon cameras and lenses. I only buy from Adorama and B&H. They both are equally excellent. Sometimes, their rebates or discounts are different. One has better price match policy than another one. This is why sometime I chose to buy from one over another. I have bought 100% of my Nikon products from these two. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars including Nikon D4S, D800, Nikkor 800mm, etc just for my hobby. Thanks!

Richard, another easy solution is a sheet of black chip board, black foam core, simply black paper or any black material. a 16X20 inch ($2.00 cost) of black foam core with a hole cut in the center the size of your lens works really well. Glass is always going to reflect, so let it reflect black (or the absence of anything reflective). Be sure to clean both surfaces of the glass. Have fun, J. Goffe
Excellent idea! Thank you! I will try this. Thanks!

Sometimes I feel a bit guilty being so close behind the window. But
There is always some action - from Hummers to Jays. And a dancing Titmouse below.

Thanks! It is a very sharp shot!

One thing that can go wrong when shooting through glass is that your camera will focus on the glass rather than on what is outside. Shooting with manual focus will solve this problem. Short of that, shooting at an angle - not directly perpendicular to the glass - might help.
Thanks for the suggestion!

We have a small bird feeder right outside the kitchen window & by shooting through the glass,I can catch a few shots. If I tried outside,I would miss them without using a lot of zoom. Shots through the glass aren't as good.....maybe if the glass was cleaner........................
Thanks!

I've shot hundreds of pics from our kitchen window of birds, coyotes, mountain lion, deer and no distortion problems at all. (clean window helps). I get very close to the glass to avoid glare and, of course, don't allow flash.
Thanks for sharing the sucessful experice!

Here's an alternative to a rubber lens hood which is a bit bulkier but gives you more flexibility and still keeps out ambient light from inside the room:

You might want to check into it as well.

Scott Kelby also talks about using a hood and pressing right up against the glass. Just don't let your lens come in contact with the window somehow.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Have a look here:

The Northern 'Red-Shafted' flicker was taken through a double-glazed balcony door.
I was about 3 feet inside that door, he about 2-3 feet outside the door - and the door was shut and not any too clean after a lot of rain.

I do it often. I use a table top tripod in my garage. The feeders are about 4 feet from the window. Remote in one hand and coffee or a beer in the other. Keep the window clean and have fun.
Good shot! Thanks for the reply!

Lens as close to the window as possible, dark in the room if possible.
