Seems to me that the beauty of these shots may be at least partially because of the "gloom", not in spite of it. Overcast gave you a soft even light.
I agree. It's just a matter of learning how to use it. I usually shoot birds at 1000/sec shutter speed or more but that does not work in the case of this kind of light. Thanks for commenting, photogeneralist.

Another gloomy day at home. I'm getting accustomed to it. The birds don't seem to mind.
Very nice Ken

Thanks, merry. Maybe one day I will actually be able to step on my lawn and not sink to my knees.

I've never seen a female cardinal with a yellow breast. Is that something else or just a trick of the light?

It's rather strange, what you consider bad light!

It's the light. Though she was quite brilliant for a female, the post-processing made her a little more colorful. Thanks for commenting, Ron.

Cloudy, drizzly, and too dark for faster shutter speeds with a long lens. You might be surprised at just how dark it was for these images which were all shot handheld. Hope that explains it. Thanks for commenting, speters.
