A few minutes later I was able to capture this landing. At one time, there were eight male Cardinals within 30 feet of this feeder. Several were in the trees beyond. There were several females as well, since they tend to feed in pairs.
Great action shots here. I love them. Birds on the move are very hard to capture.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. :)
It's amazing how well the airplane (aeroplane in UK :) follows the principles of lift and flight the birds, like the cardinal does. The shape of the wing on the avian changes, moving up to lessen the lift (like adding more flaps). And the legs deploy as does the landing gear, dropping to decrease more lift before landing. Amazing captures, the principle of lift is a natural occurrence. Nice!
ReplyDeleteSWEEEEET !!

The wing action of these cardinals is such a delight! Very clever photography!
ReplyDeleteMale Cardinals are our most colorful bird and fortunately are frequent visitors to our feeders. I spend a lot of time watching our feeders. I need to take more photos of them. Nice these.
