I finally was able to catch this male Cardinal at the platform feeder, I have a heck of a time capturing the Cardinals, especially the male!

Captured this handsome fella this morning with the canon 70-300 IS USM lens.

Because he is a big cardinal's fan I'm dedicating this one to my good friend, Tick!

Thanks for the comments, they are appreciated.

Thanks Tigz I love it. They are difficult to get to stop for a photo. Baseball season opens next week. Congrats to Butler on their win today.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

Really good catch - they are gone so fast from my railing I've never gotten a good shot yet.

Very beautiful capture of this bird I would dearly love to see in reality Sandi.
The golden glow of the background sets off his brilliance very well.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Good focus and the bird looks so beautiful with the sun shining partly on him.

They sure are hard to snap, Tigs, but you did a really fine capture here. I can feel the thrill of it with you.
