Woman Sets Up A Photo Booth For Birds In Her Yard, And The Photos Are Incredible

Lisa, known as Ostdrossel on social media, is a nature lover, and avid bird photographer based in Macomb County, Michigan. She has set up a photo booth disguised as a bird feeder in her yard and sometimes takes up to 7,000 pictures each day! Lisa decided to experiment with bird photography after she moved to the USA from Germany and noticed all the unique birds, uncommon in her home country, in her yard. She tried all sorts of different foods to lure the birds and currently uses a motion-activated Bird Photo Booth 2.0 to capture the pictures. This setup allows her to capture unique shots of birds up close, something that would be incredibly difficult using ordinary means. Check out Lisa's bird photos in the gallery below!

#21

Image source: ostdrossel "It wasn’t just the weather that made everybody more at ease. It was also that there were hardly any Starling there today. This was one of the only pictures with a Starling I got. It is rather impressive and intimidating, but their presence today was thankfully not."

#22

Image source: ostdrossel "I’ve been that excited about food before too."

#23

Image source: ostdrossel "First Hummingbird pic of the season :) Conditions today are far from perfect, it is rainy and cold, but that also makes the birds hungry and willing to experiment."

#28

Image source: ostdrossel "The BBs behaved like the yard is theirs. I don’t blame them and am delighted"

#29

Image source: ostdrossel "I woke up to an empty nestbox this morning (Thursday), and can hear the babies softly calling in the trees. They must have fledged very early today. Cannot wait to see them in the yard soon :) The Bluebirds have not fledged today, so Syrup has to wait a bit longer to meet her siblings. I have a feeling it is going to happen tomorrow. Which would be good because we are expecting a heatwave."
