......on the van. Who's the fairest bird of all? :dunno :scratch

Nothing too great...but pretty funny. I'd like to reshoot these in better light. The neighbor parks his van after work (sunset) and this cardinal comes and plays in the window/mirror. Sometimes it attacks the mirror...other times it poses. I shot these at ISO 1600 in the shadows ...so a bit noisey. Really pushed them in PS also. They were also cropped as this little lady wouldn't let me get close without flying off. Will try again with a tripod and hopefully catch her during the day.

Cheers








Some other itty bitty bird I shot that flew by. (where's the 500mm when you need it?)

Cool shots Mike! Love the third. I've tried getting the little ones in flight but with no sucess.

I love the two in the car!!! Very cool catch!

The others are good, too. I found a bird at his nest today. Right out here where I park my car. I got ONE picture of him. Had to get the 400 on, slowly, quietly and carefully. I did get one, but I didn't work it up.

I have hopes, a whole nest!!! And it will be surrounded by leaves in a bit, too.

Too funny. I'm looking forward to the next showing.

Thanks Steve, Nick, Ginger and William. Appreciate you taking a looksee and commenting.

Steve...don't let that lens hit you in the head...on the way out.

This little lady was back yesterday. I snapped a few more..but the lighting was even worse than originally. I'm thinking a "staged" day shot is in order. I'll have to find a cute chic to park her red cabriolet in the driveway when the lights right.
