Female Cardinal and Male Bunting at the feeder....these 2 grilled each other up for 5 minutes!
Photos taken late day....

Beautiful birds! Were these taken handheld? Great shots, you're lucky to have them..but they honestly don't seen up to par with your usual work. They look a tad underexposed, and perhaps a bit soft. Great timing none-the-less. Lucky you.

Great colors with a nice setting. Great job with the interaction between species.

Agree....Handheld out the patio door and the light was almost gone. Sometimes you take what you get!

Wow. Handheld at 1/125" and 490mm (735 equiv.)! That's incredibly impressive. You should be extremely proud of these shots. I hadn't bothered to take a peek at the EXIF before. :blushing:

These are really awesome! Maybe a little tighter crop on top?
Nice job though!
