Thanks Downy and Grizz. They are such great subjects but they always look right at the camera. :D

Thanks Rock and Karen. It's fun shooting my birds. I wonder If I'm getting too involved in this sometimes. :)

Thanks Sindri and Bill. These are my regulars now I guess. When I opened the window this morning, the Grosbeak was at a feeder. Usually all the birds explode away when the window slams up, but she just sat there and watched me and kept eating. It could be cause I talk to her whenever I see her. She seems to be quite intelligent. :)

I would agree that #2 is the best, but as has already been said they are all good. Whatever you are saying to these birds it seems to be working :D .

Thanks Mark but I think it's the food. :)

I do talk to them though. It seems to calm them down and has saved several shots where the bird looked ready to fly, then I just said something to it and it stopped to take a second look while I got the shots. :)

Another wonderful series Mitch! Oh how I wish I could capture a cardinal! #1 stands out for its pose and BG. Very very nice!

Thanks Deb, Reyno and Dennis. Cardinals seem to be a very skittish bird for some reason. In winter they are less shy, but even now, after all this time, they don't like to be around if they can see me moving.

Thanks Terry. These two are my favorite birds. I had to do them justice. :)
