Seeing Red...



I know this photo isn't that great but it's the first cardinal I've ever photographed so I had to post it. I actually took it through my bedroom window this morning. I've noticed this male and a female coming to my feeder right at dusk everyday, the lighting is way too low to take photos at that time of day. We had a 16 inch snowstorm yesterday and I had just come in from snowblowing the driveway this A.M. and when I looked out of the window the male was at the feeder. The female wasn't around but one thing I've learned about these two is that they are extremely skittish so I'm glad I was able to get this picture. You can see him looking at the window, I was sticking my lens through the blinds. My goal now is to get a better shot.

Happy New Year...


This guy visited the bird feeder on new years day and had some corn I put out for it. I also have a gray squirrel that visits but it never sticks around long enough to be photographed.
