Cardinal mug shots.

We have fewer Cardinals now that the Redwings are dominating the feeder.

Another.

I especially like the second pic trois!

both are great but I especially like the first picture

Thanks, pelletory and IRIS. This afternoon lots of female Cardinals. They are starting mating activity, such as male and females sharing the feeder. Soon, he will start feeding her. No pics, bad sun angle.

Trois - incredible!!! You can see the individual feathers the pictures are so clear!

Thanks, Murmur!

The first shot is outstanding!!!

Thanks, gardenpom. The very sharp shots are most difficult because most birds are always moving, usually much faster than a human can move. Some even move fast enough during a flash exposure to blur or cause a double image of the head.
