Just finished setting up from behind the tripod when this guy flew into my field of view.
Don't know how they behave where you live, but at my place in Maine, Northern Cardinals are terribly shy....very quick to leave the scene at any indication of me looking out.
Knowing he would quickly make his way to the ground to feed, I decided to tommy gun him (CL). To my surprise he was curious to the sound. I suspect he was carefree because it is a gorgeous spring day and the hormones are flowing now.
This image is exactly as it was taken from the D500; i.e. zero post processing. I like it that way.
