A couple of birds from today

A couple of birds from today · 08:36 PM

Well, the day went from sunshine to white-out conditions and then back to sunshine a couple of times. Would have lasted longer too, had the Coopers Hawk not come by for a snack of Mourning Dove (while I was downloading the first batch of images to my portable hard drive, hence no pictures of the hawk

)

First, the Northern Cardinal:

And then the Blue Jay:

I should also mention that with these shots, I used the K10D, FA*400mm f/5.6 wide open with a tamron 1.4x teleconverter. All of this was mounted on my tripod....and all of this was covered in about 1/2 cm of snow at one point

Great shots, and I don't often see Cardinal photos posted...

Very nice Andrew - now get out there and take some more...

Cheers,
Marc

Both cardinal and blue jay are beautiful. Not often sighted these days here

Thank you very much, Marc, Tom, James, Evolution & Eddie!

I'll see if I can sneak out between chores today, Marc

Tom & Evolution, the more I look at he Blue Jay, the more I laugh! He really does have a 'Don King'ish appearance
