Description
Northern Cardinal.
This guy is a regular customer...sometimes he brings his mate. I'll get her photo up in the near future...coloring is more subdued for the female.
For cross reference: Friday's Bird
Thanks for stopping by,
Bill:)
Zoom if you don't mind the intimidating stare.

Very nice capture!!!

Nice Bill, although the focus for me is a little too much on the bowl instead of the bird. Sorry to be a grouch! I know nothing about birds so I'll be quite now. ;)

He's a bit blurry, but whattalottacolour! How about a bit of postwork to make a sockittoyou abstract?

What a gorgeous creature! The color is phenomenal. Wow. I've never seen one around here, and had no idea that red was so brilliant!

he sure seems to be protecting that bowl. Beautiful and inspiring work, thanks for all your advice and reviews on the cameras I can see you did your research on them and it certainly paid off, I am still looking and will keep you informed. Have a nice day! enjoy your seeds birdy :)

blinkings said just what I was thinking! But, that said, my Camera would do JUST the same! Old 35mm you could focus and KNOW WHAT you would get. But now..... well! That said, it's still a really stunning bird! Better by miles than our 'browns' we get over here! (Mostly!) Top work. Rob.

Good shooting there. That bird has the stare of a hawk. Watch him, he might be one in disguise just watching the sparrow fatten up. Yum!
moonrancher
Wow! He's such an exciting find, and you don't have much time to get that focus perfect on the eyes and beak, and he's making such a show it'd be a shame to miss him altogether while you fussed with settings.

What vibrant colours.

Actually, in re blinkings and debbielove's comment, it isn't that the focus is on the bowl as much as it is the bright glare. The clarity of the bowl isn't any different between it and the intimidating birdie. Otherwise, vibrant colors and great composition, Bill.

These birds must make a wonderful splash of colour in the garden. A beautiful capture.

Ah, here's the lady's mate, and isn't he brilliant in his red coat! Nicely done.

well you already know how I feel about this beautiful series, and I loved this shot too & will comment on it because it's "representative" of all you captured in this series. (I can't comment on everything I missed, obviously, but I can jump around and hit images as they call out to me.) I remember talk of the problems of capturing this bright red. But in this shot it glows as if the bird had light within. And I always zoom (hey, it's the size we uploaded, it's only fair!), and his stare is truly in our faces. And I really like the green & black bands in the background, as if nature put out a backdrop for the bird. (I assume it's a simple matter of varying focus...) Very sensitive shot, in a very sensitive series. And you know what? The food looks pretty good too! (I've been sick too long!) In a series of many postures & positions, this one is for the portraits. Love it.
