I like fuzzy animals, too, and I've spent many hours in the woods looking for them. Then it occured to me I could go to the zoo and get lots of fuzzy animals just sitting there for me. And I had absolutely no desire to go. It's better to watch yet another sunset, hoping again to ambush a fox that didn't show. I don't head into the woods so I'll have something to do with my camera, I bring my camera so I'll have something to do in the woods. Besides, feeders limit your targets. I was going after a great blue heron Sunday morning, then a kingfisher made an appearance. I think those are two that you wouldn't find at a feeder.
