Different cardinal, about 40 seconds after I shot the top one. Sometimes you get nothing, sometimes it's handed to you.:dunno

    They are super-shy, aren't they? Thats why I can really appreciate good shots, like these. Thanks for sharing.

    That is funny!

    Cardinals have been handed to me, but only when I have been there.

    There is a small bird, tee, tiny, with a yellow head, fast little B, but gorgeous, I can't even get my lens up.

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    I think it's a yellow finch. I almost got one yesterday, but he was still too fast.

    I normaly do use -.67 exposure, especially with ducks, but they where in an area of dense trees and I had to bump the exposure up.
