Thanks all. Have the shot that told me I should stop pestering the poor thing. (7D, ISO100, 1/1600s, F/5.6, 500mm)
As a bonus, here's a Sharp-shinned hawk. (7D, ISO100, 1/400s, F/7.1, 700mm)

Great shots Moobark. Keep posting.

Each afternoon, when I start helping Harry catch his fish dinner, these same two male Brazilian cardinals immediately show up out of nowhere for a bread handout. They will both approach quite closely if I don't give them a morsel right away. Yesterday, after they got their meal, they both took off and returned several minutes later with a dozen of their female friends who all wanted a bread handout, too. It was quite a ruckus for a few minutes, fighting over the bread crumbs I threw at my feet. ;D

Here's one...5D3, 100-400L

Wow! A congregation of cardinals! The bread must be good!
Beautiful picture.

Hi, here (after a long abstinence) a few "Watery Birds". Nothing special but I do like the Bokeh in the water.
I'm glad you've all being keeping standards up while I was busy <G>
Cheers Brian

I like the green in the water too! Lovely!

Thanks Krob78! On why people would scare them, you got me. Everyone seems against bullying people but animals/birds, that seems ok.

Another cool Cardinal shot serendipidy!

I keep trying to catch the larger birds like the Jays & Acorn Woodpeckers on takeoff. Much harder than waterfowl it seems.

ERHP - love those sparkling blue colors.

Not much from this end but there are a huge number of robins still.

Well timed and sharp photo. The colors are very nice too.

Nice background bokeh. The robin looks like he is deep in contemplation.

Some recent one with the 5D3 and 100-400L.

Seeing eye to eye...or mostly not

That level of ISO performance is the stuff dreams are made of 8). All the Robins already left a few months ago over here.
Here's a young BCN heron (7D, ISO100, 1/400s, F/8, 700mm) and an Eastern Wood-Pewee (7D, ISO200, 1/400s, F/6.3, 700mm)

Very nice shots Serendipidy. I especially like the first one.

Thanks Jack, click, rpt and serendipidy! They seem ridiculously bright when flying away and flaring before landing, especially with the sun on their back.

Jack, cool Robin. Everytime I see one now I can't help but think about the realistic Robin(Batman) costume cartoon.

I still can't get over how many fish Harry devours, serendipidy! Cool shot with the eyes!

Nice Pee-Wee, Moobark! We don't get the Easterns here but our similar ones don't like to pose for long(not quite as bad as warblers though)
