Moving from one country to another takes a considerable effort and can be pretty overwhelming. Fortunately for Lisa M. Ca, who moved from Germany to Michigan, she had plenty to keep her occupied. The diverse bird population in Macomb County, Michigan was enough to keep the homesickness at bay.
The area where she moved has a wide variety of birds, and some of the species she would see were Cardinals, Redbreasted Nuthatches, Blue Jays and so many more. These different kinds of birds inspired her to observe, study and get to know them, so she decided to dedicate a Tumblr solely to her little friends. In order to do this, she needed something that would allow her to get close and personal without scaring them off.
Amidst her camera research, she found a mechanism called Bird Photo Booth, a motion-activated wireless bird feeder that allows the owner to study the birds that come near it without making them fly away.She grew a considerable following and created quite a large community of people who appreciate her work. Below you can take a look at 29 of our favorite picks, but if you want to see more don't forget to visit Lisa's Tumblr.
We see (and hear) Michigan birds all the time flying though our backyards, but we bet you've never seen them up close and personal like this before.
After Lisa M. Ca moved from Germany to Macomb County to be with her husband, she noticed that the weather and seasons in Germany and Michigan are pretty similar, but the birds are a little different. She told MT over an email that over the summer she began feeding these birds and she began to photograph them.
"I wanted to get a little closer and started researching what cameras are out there as a little addition to my DSLR. This is how I found the Bird Photo Booth."The bird photo booth takes super close photos of the birds while they are drinking and hanging out at the bird bath.
The photos that Lisa got were insanely gorgeous so she decided to post them on Facebook. Turns out, the Internet went wild for the photos once she put the album on public view and has received over 30 thousand shares.
Lisa has since started her own blog to share her gorgeous photos with the world. She told us that, "the birds are like little jewels from nature. They make my day."
