gjl711 Wait.. you can't unkill your own kill.  57,733 posts Likes: 4065 Joined Aug 2006 Location: Deep in the heart of Texas More info | May 13, 2009 22:18 | #1 While walking in our local woods more for exercise than birding, my wife and I stopped to check out a Downy Woodpecker. When I turned around this little guy was just sitting on a branch not more than 40 feet away waiting for his picture to get taken. I was able to work my way to about 15 feet or so before he got nervous and took off. First time I've seen a Scarlet Tanager.   Not sure why, but call me JJ.

canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | May 14, 2009 07:39 | #10 Wow, that is red. Did you have any trouble processing it? I have a lot of trouble with Cardinals. I think it's something to do with the sensor filter maybe. But reds get blown out a lot. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
