Wonderful pic of a handsome bird. The clarity is impressive with that high ISO. Cardinals make a great subject matter, but I find them to be very skittish and busy moving all over the place to photograph. I've had a couple (hubby and wife) living near my house since last year. The male, Claude, is very territorial and just loves my car mirrors. I've had to take plastic bags and fasten them on the mirrors to keep Claude away. Otherwise the mirrors would be useless with all the droppings everywhere. This has happened in the past, but it was a temporary situation. Maybe for about 2 weeks and then it would stop. Not this year! I wish I knew how to make him go away. His wife, Claudia, is not a problem. (named after the actress Claudia Cardinale). Hopefully, at some point, he'll stop and be a good boy.
