Winter Cardinal
Winter Cardinal
Another winter storm went through Saturday night and into Sunday afternoon. Jenne and I maintain two bid feeders in our yard and during stormy weather we get many visitors. Today among the many birds to visit was this bright red Cardinal who sat up in the tree keeping watch over his female companion who was scratching about for seed on the ground below.
Beautiful catch on a beautiful, snowy day.

I was using a 28-300mm zoom lens for this shot, but because digital SLRs multiply the focal length of lenses by 1.5 I was actually using a 42mm-450mm lens. I lost my low end wide angle capability with the 28-300, but I sure gained on the high end. I did buy another wide angles lens, a 17-35mm, or because of the multiplication factor a 26-53mm.
Peace,

Oh my. This is a wonderful shot. My cardinals won't hold still long enough for me to get a good shot.
I have been racking my brain trying to figure out who Santa looked like, but with so little of the face showing, I just wasn't getting it. You hit it right on the money.
