Nice one! Like the bird/berry color off-set. Kind of wonder if I'd like
it slightly better if the bird were looking into the picture. Pointless
speculation, of course, and I don't think the light would have worked

i've become more comfortable with ISO 1600. I used to avoid it and

I haven't done any real testing, but based on observation, I'd say
about 80 feet at ISO 800. This cardinal was probably that distant.

Paul, thought I'd add that the cylindrical screen feeder allows them to
perch and feed in any position. Upside down, right side up or any
position in between. The plastic feeder's design limits their choices.

Oops... I am guessing the "deer" in your response came from the

some small animal (squirrel, skunk, maybe a rabbit).
