Nonac..love that cardinal shot..excellent !
Here's my first capture of a Phainopepla (<say that 5x fast 

Phainopepla by Revup67, on Flickr
What was cool about this event is a fellow birder had his iPhone. we quickly ID'd the bird, looked him up on Birdseye and started the bird call. The bird actually began responding and creating a conversation of sorts with the iPhone. He was intrigued enough so he also flew closer to our location so we could get up close shots..it was incredible to witness this as I had not before.
Not only can I not say Phainopepla 5 times, I can hardly say it one! I've never seen this bird before, I need too though! Really nice Rev!
