Backyard Birds

I am trying to get back to taking some photographs after some time away. I recently bought a 7D to go with the Bigma and am slowly getting used to it but it is becoming increasingly clear just how much I do not know (or understand) LOL.

Anyway here are some picture of birds that I happened to see on the weekend in my back yard. The first (the Red Cardinals), I have not been able to get pictures of before so I was very happy to see them come calling.

Nice catch on the levitating cardinal (1st pic) John! Also nice to see a local cardinal at all! I had a lone female up here last summer but none since. You'll love the 7D but it takes a bit of working at it to learn it. Keep clicking!

isn't this the same thread as the other?

Not sure what habbened. There should only be one post and this one should not be it. Perhaps a Mod can delete this??

First one is really interesting. Good shots.
