Cardinal Bokeh

I have no luck with bird shots. I got feeders and it is too hot to sit and watch them. I think I just lack patience. Well, I know I do.
I got my first clear shot at the State bird of Ohio at the zoo of all places. He was hanging out at the Gorilla exhibit.

Hey, I think that I got a shot of them there once, too. Nice colors here. Can't wait to finally meet you tomorrow. It's been over a year of being friends on here and local even. Yeah for meet ups! The place took no reservations so we will have to wait. Hopefully it will be quick.

Also the state bird of Virginia. I love them. Good capture.

Cool capture. I am all about getting them where you see them and where it is convenient. I would not set in the heat either.

Bet he was taunting you! Mine do - they sit outside my window, singing their lungs out, then when I move towards the camera, they take off. I think they have it in for me.
