Cardinals are in great abundance around my feeders

I have quite a few Cardinals visiting my feeders. Some beautiful young cardinals that sit in the trees waiting there turn to approach the feeder which makes for some nice pictures. I also made a perch next to the feeder which and coax them to it by drilling holes in branch and placing seed in it works very nice.

Nice detailed shots, if you don't mind me asking, what camera and lens did you use?

Cannon 80d EF 100-400 5.6 L Lens I have had very good performance from this camera and lens combination.

I have found out after taking thousands of photos that if your shooting hand held shots with a telephoto lens focal distance and shutter speed along with a rock steady technique of holding the camera while taking the picture are essential for a nice crisp picture. I am not a expert by no means but learning the hard way has taught me to focus on those three things which has helped improve my percentage of sharp pictures before post processing. I am retired and practice everyday trying to improve my photos, lots of fun and always the photo that didn’t turn out as good as you hoped it would.

I have a pair of Cardinals in my vicinity, but the are very shy and uncooperative. They sometimes come to the feeders. I wonder whether I should use a different bird food. Are you using anything special to bring them in? Great shots, I like the last one the best.

Very nice set, my favorite is the first one; great composition, nice colors, tack sharp and a nice catch light.
