Just playing around with the camera adapter for my binocs.
Mr and Mrs Cardinal came to visit for a light breakfast.
A little color correction and snipped out some rain spots and stuck food on the plexiglass.

I love Cardinals, and not just because I’m originally from St. Louis. They are loyal birds that aren’t afraid to tough out a brutal midwest winter like some pussy-ass goose.
I don’t get many cardinals here, but the lady cardinal I think is quite pretty. She has the nicest pink streaks and I always recognize her. It always brightens my day when they show up, and they’ve started to take note from my jays on how to get the peanuts in the shell I toss to them.
I’ve settled down in Northern Ohio now, and we always have loads of cardinals in the fall and winter. They were my grandma’s favorite bird and so i always think of her when i see a pair of cardinals and it makes my day a little bit better
We used to have more, but not that many these days. One winter though, it was snowing and there were 6 or 8 males all in the one pine and it was one of the most beautiful sights I’ve seen. I’ll always remember that scene.
