Great photos. I wish we had cardinals out here in California. I've always enjoyed watching the birds around our foothills. Although I have to say I get a bit tired of the crows and/or ravens.

Cool pics!
Lots of birdlife here too...which we love, just not what they leave behind.
Gaggles of Cdn. Geese were here a few weeks back fertilizing our yard...now we're busy mowing grass twice a week!
Great Blue Herons as below pic are beautiful in flight but often bomb our waterfront which looks like someone spilled a few gallons of paint and is just a mess to clean up.
The squirrel population multiplying these last few years is what I'm tired of.
I feel bad drowning them so have been releasing them onto flotillas sending them out into the current to make new lives for themselves somewhere downstream.

...and right now 7 vultures in my yard..i heard this commotion looked out the window and they are trying to clean up a ground hog i "may" have hit with my new zero turn yesterday...i saw some fur fly, but never saw it..now its food......never been this close to vultures..kinda cool...they are 15 feet from my window...unfortunately i walked out side..and can smell Mr Ground hog..so he gets the shovel over the hill today..if they dont get the job done

Birds are amazing. Its still puts me in awe how such a small brain can enable a creature to fly with such grace and control. Sensing the wind currents and immediately compensating. Also the whole swarm-flock flying in unison. Was watching this the other day at a local park. Had to be 500-1000 birds all together and flying as one. Really incredible.

Those damn doves are as dumb as a box of rocks.....constantly flying into the windows on our house. Our dog came up to the back door with a freshly deceased one in his mouth the other day, proud as can be.

I was completely surprised to see cardinals here in AZ. Not quite as vivid in color as the ones we had back in IL, but definitely still a cardinal. Bentley, you got a whole bunch of 'em! Thanks for the pics!
