The Baby by falcon11

The Baby

This is one of the 3 baby cardinals that were nesting outside my dining room window. I watched the babies try to fly and leave the nest yesterday, and this morning the nest is empty. Mom and Dad are chipping away from the oriental maple tree, so I hope the family is intact and has relocated where they have more privacy.
Awww, that's so sweet....tweet, tweet!!!

He is full of personality and gazing dubiously at the new extended world around him. This is an excellent character study !

Marvellous capture of this beautiful bird. Looks like he's just woke up and hasn't brushed his hair yet.

what a beautiful capture of this baby bird. I hope they are all ok. Love the little quiff on its head. Hard to imagine this little bird might one day be red all over.

@fmphoto I manually focus and then use sports mode for a high shutter speed in case they move.
