A male Northern Cardinal in Texas (4 Jan 2018). They are abundant here, but I still enjoy photographing them! (5D iv, 70-200 2.8L ii, 1.4x iii; 280mm, ISO 2000, F8, 1/400)
They are gorgeous birds. I always try to get a shot when visiting the US, which I might do this week and next. Two very nice shots.

Tufted Titmouse. An abundant bird in Texas (4 Jan 2018). (5D iv, 70-200 2.8L ii, 1.4x iii; 280mm, ISO 1600View attachment 182480, F8, 1/400)

mikeckek - beutifull shots! I'm adding the female of the Northern as well as the Red-crested Cardinal (not Cardinal at all, they are different group).
For the Tufted Titmouse I'm jealous - we don't have them here (and really fine shot!).

Jack, for what they are actually fighting? "My place in the cold pool"? Honestly in Europe I have never seen more than two of these at once...

Thanks Click and others for the likes.

ISV, you'd have to ask them but I suspect that it's turf protection and in this case perhaps the best puddle. They are just plain rude and I suspect "they" are males!:)

That was water, ready to freeze so I was amazed how they loved being in it. I suspect that they get very thirsty when they ingest typically 5 - 8 berries at a time and later regurgitateI love you too_0532.JPG the skins that you see on the ice. Another cute but rather poor shot. This is just like my wife and son! :)

I am a newcomer to CanonRumors, and I would like to share with you some of the bird pictures I took in Central America. I took most pictures with Canon 7D and 7D Mk2 bodies. Canon 500mm f4, and 400mm f5.6 lenses. Sometime I use Canon EF 2X III and EF 1.4X II extenders. Most photos are taken hand held without tripod.YF1_9279_C.jpg

WOW! Great shots! Welcome to the forum and hope to see more from you!

January 7th, 2018: Our great horned owl neighbours snoozing in one of our conifers. I was hoping for an 'open eye' picture but its nap time for the owls. There's a slight blurriness to the photo. I had the camera set to HD and the alignment seems a bit off. Not too bad, though. (7DMII + Sigma 150-600mm C)_36A0665_DxO copy.jpg
