Did my first winter birding/photography in my life today and I had a awesome visitor today. I was taking some pictures of the birds that were visiting my feeder (Titmouse, Starlings, BC Chickadee, WB nuthatch and DE junco), then all of a sudden there was a surge of Cardinals around 9-12 feeding on fruits around my feeder. While I was taking some pictures of the Cardinals, what I believe to be a Copper's Hawk dove in to try to capture some Cardinals but failed. All the birds that were calling kept quiet until the C. hawk decided to fly away, it was very impressive and it was my first C. hawk :). Here is a picture that I managed to take under the snow, I think my lens suffered a little, hope its ok.
