I do not really have the best equipment for bird photography, as my longest lens is 200mm. But here is one I got the other day. It's a pretty big crop as well.

I think it's a fine shot. Shooting Cardinal's has been very difficult for me, but you've done very well.

A very nice shot of the cardinal in very good light. Very well done specially, as you say, considering the equipment.

Thanks for all the compliments. I got lucky with his proximity to me. I was in an area that had a "boardwalk" along a river. Lots of birds who are used to people. I took lots of shots of this guy, but this was the best.
