Cardinals up close - 14photos

in Photography Lovers2 years ago

I finally got some photos of the cardinals. After not seeing any in Colorado for 10 years while we lived there, it was a nice surprise to see them in Vermont when we moved here last year.

I was able to get a few fairly close shots of a pair this past weekend out near the feeder.

I did do a little cropping on some for the head shot, but also included the original image.

And then we have Angry Bird pose. lol

I really liked this one with the foot stomping.

And "The glare"

Let's not forget the Mrs.

Ahhh they are adorable birds. To cute. Great photos you took. Have a wonderful day.

Yes, quite the personality they were showing. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks for your reply 😀

Great shots!

Great close ups, such a neat looking bird!

Hi @ksteem

You have captured so much personality in these pics! They are wonderful. I really like cardinals, they have a lot of attitude and spunk for their size. The Mrs looks quite chill in comparison to the male, like he's looking at you and demanding you fill the bird feeder or he's putting his foot down 🤣

Thanks for your comments, yes "More black sunflower seeds"! NOW! lol

Stunningly beautiful birds! Great photos.

Thank you friend. It's nice to out now and then. Not quite into the wild as yours often are, but at least I got out!
