Beautiful, I think you must live in wildlife haven or something. I sure wish I had your variety of subjects!

4" should be just fine. Another thing you can do is to measure the distance between the edge of the secondary out to the inside edge of the tube. This number will be the biggest you can go if you want no obstruction. The Baader Solar Film works great for these type of applications.

Thanks guys.
I couldn't move a muscle or she would take flight. It was kind of funny because before I got the camera out we were watching them come and go. Just to test out how close they were paying attention to us inside I decided to just sit still and move one finger a 1/2 inch or so. Just that slight movement was enough to get their wings going for a few seconds and then stop. I did this a few times a few seconds apart and every time, just like my finger was on a switch she would start and stop again. Pretty keen eyesight on these little buggers.
