Birds Bring Colour to Some Dull Days
Lens: Pentax DA 300 mm F4 Camera: Pentax K5 IIs 
Posted By: fotogaffer, 03-16-2013, 04:32 PM

Here are some shots of some birds that brightened some otherwise dull, cloudy, cold days. A Red-bellied and Hairy Woodpecker and Female Cardinal that I have a hard time photographing as they are very skittish. To me the colour of the female cardinal is more interesting than the male.

Lovely trio. I see what you mean about the female cardinal. She is beautiful.

I love these portraits!! Great job capturing some really difficult subjects. Yesterday I was sitting at my computer by the window and a male Cardinal landed at the feeder. He as so skittish that just moving slowly for my camera caused him to fly off and not return. Your image of the female is stunning. Excellent work
