Hazel Erikson's gorgeous photo of a pair of eastern bluebirds feeding on fresh berries was taken from the comfort of her own home in Norris Lake, Tennessee. Erikson has a strategy that brings award-winning bird photos to her: She looks for logs with character, drills large holes in them, then fills the holes with food. She sets up her camera on a tripod inside a nearby window and waits for the birds to discover the food. While working at her computer, she keeps an eye trained on the outdoors so that she doesn't miss any great shots—like this one.
