Lisa, who goes by the name @Ostdrossel on her social media, has always been fascinated by nature and birds, so when following her love to Macomb County in Michigan from Germany, she had an urge to get a little closer to the birds in her yard that are uncommon in her homeland. She began exploring the ways to make it possible and as a result, she has thousands of images capturing different gorgeous bird species, their funny expressions, majestic poses and sometimes crazy behaviour. While experimenting with all kinds of foods to lure the birds in, she’d also set up up a camera trap that helps her implement her idea of exploring the birds from up close. She uses a Bird Photo Booth 2.0 which consists of a camera box, a macro lens and an attachable feeder. She uses a tiny camera equipped with a motion sensor so that when a bird comes to eat, the camera photographs in a non-intrusive way. Her usual evening routine is going through an impressive number of photos taken during the day that can reach up to 7000. A photoshoot takes place every day in Lisa’s yard under any weather conditions.

I wish you could tell us what species these birds are (for the uninitiated). I know the obvious ones, but not all of them. And is that jello in their feeders?
Fantastic photos, Every bird lover will appreciate these fantastic shots that we never see with our eyes. Birds are so interesting and as a wildlife supporter and a birder, These photos are fantastic and will blow your mind. Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos . E Clark
Glad you enjoyed!
Beautiful!
Now there must be a way to put a mouse in the bird feeder so she can capture a hawk or owl on camera
These are really great!
Amazing photos. These should be put together as a coffee table book
