Thank you all so much for your kind comments! I love cardinals so was happy to capture this one sitting so close on my birdbath. I noticed some goldfinches had arrived today and were feeding at my bird feeders, so I will have to set up outside by a bush and see if I can get any shots. We have moved and my feeders are in the backyard this time, where last place they were in the front yard and I could hide behind the chairs on the front porch. Sometimes I would even shoot from my car since the car being close to the feeder did not seem to bother them. Can't get my car in the fenced backyard now. I just have to get over this terrible cold though before I can do anything! #8478932
