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!

“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.”

“Be nice to each other and feed the birds!”

One day, this guy just kind of figured - “I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?” - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that’s trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
