For Jonny R.

[MARINERMAGNUM]

Well Jonny,I said I would post an image of the Cardinals at my feeder,so here it is. I only wish it could have been better! This was with a point and shoot,thru a window,with NO light. Before I tweeked in P.S. the birds all looked black. It looks like there is about a dozen or so feeding,which is normal for the morning.

It would have been better if it weren't for the "welfare" sparrows. However,there is 2 white throated sparrows in this image-can you pick them out?

Like I said,we kinda take Cardinals for granted around here!

Holy Moly!...You must live in cardnial heaven! ....lol!....if I ever live to see that many! ....lets see......one every 20 years...you have a lifetime's worth in that one picture!

Wow, that is a lot of Cardinals, only Rome has more in one spot!

Soooo, you like Cardinals? Here are a few from a while back for ya bud.

[LPCrowRiverFisherman]

That's normal? Wow! We have Cardinals here, we've counted 9 twice and 10 once out here, very shy when outside though.

[Steve Foss]

MM, that is one FAT lot of cardinals!

I have never seen such a flock of cardinals in my life, MM. Do you live near a river? I've been told that is the best place for attracting these cool birds.

We are in a good spot since we moved to the sticks. A waterway with a creek and plenty of grain fields around. Down the road about 300 yards is another very large creek-about like a small river,and plenty of timber. We catch alot of birds coming and going.

That photo is representative of the average,this afternoon at 4pm I counted 32 seperate Male and Female Cardinals at the feeder and on the ground at one time. That's our new record so far.

Buzz: Great shots!

I could only stand the cold long enough to get these 2 shots. I know 5 degrees is nuttin' for the Minny folk,but I was ready to climb in bed and snuggle with anything that had a pulse.

Just some magnificent shots - both Buzz and Mariner! Would love to get a chance to see those birds!

Thanks Jonny, MM and Finn! I like your shots in the trees, it adds to the image MM.
