I put the telephoto lens on my Canon Digital Rebel XTi camera yesterday and took several pictures of the birds that came to visit the seed bell I hung in the mesquite tree behind the RV pull-through. I sat on the patio and took this photo of a male cardinal and a male house finch perched among the spring foliage in the mesquite. If this were a contest for the reddest bird, they both qualify as red birds, but the cardinal wins the reddest, IMHO. Click on the image to enlarge.
That’s an incredible photo. I can never get any good ones of the birds with my point and shoot. Well done!
Thank you! I’ve taken so many bird pictures since we’ve moved here I couldnt post all. Usually as soon as I get the camera up and focused they flee its like they “know”. Ha.
