If Not Bedraggled - Definitely Sad Looking

We got caught with this snow storm - nothing like others get, but enough to bring the cardinals in a frenzy (and close schools again). What's nice here is it will be gone by tomorrow. Playing with the high ISO - shot at 3200 at 1/1600. Results surprised me.

Beautiful. I love these birds!

[Carole Imes]

He is so beautiful and I can't get over how he perches himself all ready for a pose. My birds DEFINITELY need to take a lesson from yours. None of them sit like this and we have nice weather ;-) Fav!

Yes, interesting what high ISO does - I must have more courage in using it! Love the fluffed up look on this bird - protection against the cold.
