Bird Feeder Photo Port

Here is a bird feeder photo port used to take photos of birds. This one is mounted on a deck rail but a longer pipe can be used to install it in the middle of your yard or garden. The goal is to provide a clear view from a window or door so you can take some great pictures.

Step 1

See the PDF file for a drawing of the feeder.

I used 3/4 inch thick by 3-1/2 inch wide treated wood to make this feeder. You can use other woods that will stand up to the weather. You could also paint it to protect it.


Materials

I used three 6 foot long 3/4" x 3-1/2" weather treated boards.

Zinc treated screws

Brad Nails

Construction Glue

2 Plumbing Pipe Floor Flanges

Short section of pipe threaded on both ends.

Pipe size determined by how tall you want it to stand. I would use 1-1/4" if I had an
8 foot free standing bird feeder.
