In my back yard, there are 8...

There are 8 cardinals that have been spending most of their time right outside my back window. They seem to have fun dive-bombing each other AND tormenting me with my camera. I managed to get one or two good shots and here is one...

Oh, gosh that is wonderful . . . thanks. Little Birds are a tough one to get . . . lol.

Despite my SuperFeeders, long lenses, patience, and moderate skill I have *yet* to get a decent shot of one of these guys. I have an entire family living near me and they're at my feeder daily, but always in low-light, never for long, and they always leave seconds after I show up.

Nice job. Now I'm jealous.
:wink:

Don't worry- I've been trying to get a good shot for weeks. I have about 800 frames from the past month and there are only a few that are worth trying to do much with. I second the always in low light and never for long comments. I finally gave up and left the camera and tripod set up so that I could just walk into the room and shoot.

Nice shot!! I love cardinals because of their vivid color, but they are hard to photograph. They don't stay still for long.

I wish I had some in my backyard. He looks so pretty against the light background.
