We feed some cats in our balcony and birds don't really like them! It's our choice, cats over birds!
Sad that they don't come in bright colors like this little fella!
Great red against the white snow.
This is beautiful Paco :)

Un très joli petit cardinal. J'adore ces oiseaux qui sont mes préférés avec les geais bleus.

Nice shot of the cardinal and falling snow. now I would like to see a close-up of the cardinal :)

@PD: I'm sorry, but I was shoting with my 24-105. If I had had my 300...
Thanks very much.

Fabien from Lyon, France

Belle image bien composée. La netteté est au bonne endroit.
Par contre, je trouve que les 800 isos ont détruits la qualité de la photo. Les détails ne paraissent pas très défini.

20 Feb 2009 4:23pm

@Fabien: Oui, mon ami, c'est comme ça!
Merci beaucoup.

mo.langel from Courtelary, Switzerland

Belle composition entre ce bel oiseau à la couleur exotique et la neige qui tombe! Bravo!
