Here in the Detroit suburbs, there are nature centers but birds seem to be few and far between or maybe it's that somebody my age (71) just can't get around much anymore. There are some areas (one just outside a hospital physical therapy building) with lots of feeders and lots of birds. So first, I need to know what food attracts the most varied birds.
Second, I'm interested in photography but I don't want photos of birds on feeders. I notice that when certain feeders are used, those that don't allow a bird to rest on it comfortably, the bird feeds and then flies of to rest on a nearby tree or bush. What kind of feeder allows this and what kind of tree or bush would birds prefer to pose for photos?
