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

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.

Not bad at all. I've done much worse. vz

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.

Excellent photo...love how the tips of the feathers mesh on that capture
