I've come to believe that Cardinal think like Crazy Horse, the camera still souls. I'm on a mission to get a really great picture of one of these beautiful birds. I take my camera out to the back yard at all times of the day, in hopes of finally getting that shot. The first picture at the top was taken in the morning. It' like they know the sun is in the wrong spot.
The second picture I took of one trying to hide in the Elderberry tree. Whoops, I should say one of the Elderberry trees. Once you have one, the birds will make sure you have a few more as the years progress. Also be very careful of sitting in lawn furniture. One morning while waiting for the girls to do their business, I say in purple goop. Oh yea, I was writing about cardinals.
I'm still not happy with the third picture. It too was taken in the evening, and wouldn't you know the little guy was to the west of me. 
I couldn't tell what the Great White Egret was spearing, until I down loaded the pictures, and started cropping. Deb, don't look at this picture! He was too far away from me, to get a clear picture of what he had in his beak, but after looking over the 20 shots I took of him, I've concluded his lunch today was turtle.
I like this picture. It is like he is saying, "Look, I don't have anything."

Mick,
Looks like you're getting a fair amount of comment spam... you might want to change your comment settings so that folks have to do the word verification thing.
