Thank god for the cardinals! This year we have seen no bluebirds and very few goldfinches, mostly early on, so cardinals and blue jays are just about our only avian color. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Sun, Jun 27, 2021 at 9:43

I agree. Cardinals aren’t particularly common, at least not here in Michigan. If you don’t try to attract them, they will be few and far between. Our bluejays are much more common. > On Jun 22, 2021, at 2:49 PM, ann sanfedele wrote: > > Cardinals are special to we easterners too.. I would sa

Cardinals are special to we easterners too..  I would say your Stellers are like our Eastern Bluejays in the sense you mean.  The brilliant color of the Cardinals especially in winter as they hang around all year, catches eyes no matter where they are. and their song and call are distinctive an

Being a contrarian, I have a slight  preference for the second.. but both shots are lovely. shooting birds (with a camera) from a chair is better than shooting fish in a barrel.  Glad they are coming to you while your horizon's are limited. ann On 6/22/2021 1:35 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Th

Very cool. Nice photos. I wonder if your cardinals are like our steller’s jays. Very common locally, but cool and exotic for folks from outside the area. > On Jun 22, 2021, at 9:13 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > > Many Cardinals this year. I’ve been careful to provide lots of sunflower > see

Many Cardinals this year. I’ve been careful to provide lots of sunflower seeds, and it appears they like the grub worms in my lawn as well. https://www.photo.net/photo/18654405/Father-s-Day-Brunch https://www.photo.net/photo/18654406/ -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send
