Ok how long did you wait to get this perfect photo?

I have spent at least 8 hours over the past week at the feeder waiting for good shots.

Yesterday I managed to get his photo within the first 10-15 minutes of trying. This Jay (and a few others) visit me multiple times a day for peanuts. I was in the process of getting the camera set up when my they arrived so the stars aligned.

This was the first time I have seen a Jay land on the skateboard, I feared they were too big! What a rush!

Ok that’s bloody genius.

Did you glue the fingerboard to it to be used as a perch like this?

Edit: Checked the thingiverse, I see it’s bolted.

Thanks!

I drilled a hole through the skateboard and used a bolt to secure it to the ramp. If you zoom in you can see the head of the bolt.
