I photographed this male cardinal out my kitchen window on Saturday at sunset. With this old camera noise is unacceptable above ISO 800 so I braced my left arm on the window frame and lay the camera across my arm to pull off the 1/30 second exposures. Double pain glass and dots of snow on the window did not make it any easier for me.

Thank you Ken,

Not only the feathers, the feeder was spinning and moving. Tricky photography

That Cardinal looks to have a death grip on his perch! Impressive captures.

Nice shot Morris,

I placed a feeder last year on my backyard but we have so many home sparrows and starlings in our area and are very aggressive with the cardinals.

Very nice Morris, his poor beak almost looks frozen shut

Thank you Rytr,

I think gusts were to about 30, could have been much worse

For some reason most of the birds get along. The starlings get chased off most of the time by the large number of finches
