Joe these are super, your work is always top notch, as soon as I saw you posted I made a beeline to see what you got this time, I'm never dissapointed. Where you able to get any information off the band? Bet someone would love to know where he is and what he's up to.
Tell me Sandy, do you get pleasure by seeing a guy my age blushing as brightly as the Cardinal? :oops:
Blush or not, you sure know how to stroke an ego. :mrgreen:
Thank you kind lady.

These cardinals are just so beautiful but what separates these from other beautiful cardinal captures is the backgrounds you are able to get to compliment them. There is just enough red hue in the background to make the bird just pop out. So well done, Joe.
Thank you Carlysue. The stump is in front of a large growth of Dogwood. The bushes are set well back allowing that OOF look. That's also where the back ground hues come from. Some prefer the natural look of the second pair. I like them both but often choose the simple BG over busy ones.

The following images are of two pair of Cardinals in different parts of the marsh.
The first two like to congregate on a stump and the second pair are in a dark pocket. The second pair have their nest completed. I'll keep an eye on it.
One of the males is banded and the only one like that, I've ever seen in the marsh.

This must frustrate you to no end.
I would imagine MNR as well as the Ontario Humane Society cannot do, or perhaps will not do, much about it.
Seems to me this is animal cruelty and not conservation's finest hour.

Captivating Cardinal Captures Joe!!! I was horrified at what these banders do in your area...I'm so glad that at least you were able to rescue the Warbler :cry:
