Thanks all! I'm glad you enjoyed the images as much as I do. I used a Canon 7D to take those.

Both images were taken in our backyard on the same branch. It is a branch that I placed next to our feeders so that birds will be enticed to land on them prior to hitting the feeders.

We go through a ton of black sunflower seed here too and the squirrels get more than their fair share, but that is because I have to keep the feeders low to the ground in order to capture the images at a nice low angle with the solid background. I just sit still at our picnic table about 10 feet away and capture the images from there.

Below is an image of my "studio" set-up, note the branches placed to the right of the feeders. That is where they land when I take the picture.
