I like these.

If you could figure out a way to disguise the feeder, or put some
nectar inside some real flowers, you could have some truly killer
shots.

Rick ?

I know someone who uses an artificial flower he rigged up so he can remotely fill it. Doesn't have to go over where the birds are feeding to refill the flower.

He has a reservoir (quart jar) of sugar water with a tube going up the stem of the artificial flower. He pumps a little air into the reservoir with bicycle pump and that forces sugar water up the tube so it overflows into the flower bell.

Once the birds learn the sugar water is going to be there & get habituated, they don't even flinch when the strobes fire.

Here's another guy I know & how he does it:
