Cardinals are faster than I thought. Trying to capture this one was a challenge but I did have fun trying for about 15 minutes!

I think this is a really cool photo! The lighting is quite nice and a very interesting flight position over that attractive plant.

If I had been clever enough to think about a shot like this, I would have gone for it. Really nice.

Nice, they are fun to try to catch. For fun yesterday I put my action cam (GoPro clone) on a tripod and set it going at 120fps near the feeder. Caught some chicadees and nuthatch. Edited to a clip and slowed it down to 10% speed for slow mo. I was amazed at how differently the two birds fly

Not bad. Cardinals are tough to capture in flight.

Very nice and know it's not easy! Many of my shots show empty frames are a few tail feathers!

Thanks. It was an interesting 15 minutes of shooting. These guys move quickly.

Thanks Angler! I haven't been on for awhile as my music business has been incredibly busy.

Thanks Raz. They're definitely tougher to catch that most BIF.

Thanks for checking it out. I might try a higher shutter speed next time but for the most part happy with the capture.

Thanks. I have a much better idea as to why most images are of a perched cardinal. They are quick.

Thanks. I found that out the hard way. They move fast.
