Cardinals

[GSC]

Yesterday was a sure welcoming sign of spring with cardinals singing again and becoming territorial .

A male cardinal was working most of the day trying 

to chase others away! Fun to watch!

Anyone have Cardinal pics?

[smurfy]

o pictures, but I have been hearing a few lately.

 

if that isn't a sign of spring the road construction I seen today should be a good sign...……….SHEEZ!!!!!!

Here are a couple of cardinal pics from today. Not the best pics because it was a little breezy and the feeder was moving a little.

Get a good camera put it on a tripod and just shoot a bunch of pictures, bursts even.    Bits are free.    Shoot a thousand pictures if you need to.    

 

Guys, do the modern DSLR cameras have a remote control function so a guy could sit inside and look out the window and trigger the camera sitting outside?

so me trying to sneak up on them at my patio door isn't going to work

Mine is solidly an amateur Nikon DSLR and it has a remote available.  Pretty cheap too.  I have seen third party remotes for like $15.

So, that's the solution.   Camera on tripod aimed at feeder, sit by window at dusk, sip a beer and keep clicking the remote...

 Any DSLR should have some type of remote capabilities. With my DSLR I can focus, set the aperture and shutter speed,  hit the shutter and see the results from my cell phone. A very handy tool

The cardinals seem to like my MAGA hat in my back yard.  They fly by and land nearby to check it out.
