Cardinal

So today I had the opportunity to take my first step into Birds.  In the front of my place I have a birch tree with a feeder hanging off of it.  I filled it yesterday and was really hoping the the squirrels stayed away.  When I looked outside this afternoon, I saw that the feeder had about 10 birds fighting to get at the food.  Great opportunity for a photo.  Grabbed my stuff and set up on the porch.  Then this guy shows up.  Popped off a few shots, of which this was the best one.  The only issue I had was the "blown out" areas.  I am working on a solution to correct these, and I will repost when I find one.  70mm - 300mm lens fully zoomed on a tripod.  (May 2012)
