The cardinals will not eat from my hand, but they definitely like the free food. I can't wait til we get a light snow and can photograph these beautiful red birds with a white background.
love the details in its plumes; it's almost 3D-ish. but you are right, they show off more when there's snow. i now know when a cardinal is nearby whenever i go for my walk. it makes this tatting sound but they flit by so quickly and it's easier to spot them in the bare trees. aces on the shot!
