Hey thanks for the link Mrs Ed...thanks Margarett, Pelletory.

I've been away for awhile but never for too long. During that time, I found a spot in VA (Sky Meadows Park) where there are colonies (that's what it's been called) of Red-head WPs. While there I also got photos of the Northern Flicker, Yellow-belling Sapsucker, Red-bellied WP, Bluebirds checking out nesting boxes and the Tree Swallows giving them a hard time. I finally saw and photo'd the Eastern Meadowlark. I have to go thru the photos but in the mean time here's a few photos of the male Cardinal in the backyard.

These photos were hand held shots on a cloudy day and I did not use the 1.4tc. I wanted to see what the lens could produce wide open at f4. I've had the 1.4 attached to the lens since I purchased it.
