The cardinals have become regulars at the feeder, and I've been able to get a couple of shots of that crest. Here's the female, top down:

I have a clear shot or two of a male I'll post when I get the tweaking done.

i know what you mean about having better luck with them on the ground.i managed to catch my personal best of a bluejay on the ground.under the feeder instead of on it.

Thanks PH. The squirrels are still a problem. I'd love to see your oriole pics.
Nice shots tupe. I think i need to set up my own feeder. Thanks, CFC. Yeah, I had no idea of the variety that hang around here until I started feeding them.

I see what you mean about the ground shots, Jeff.
