Cardinals in the Snow
Victoria Beyer
I had better luck shooting cardinals at a nearby nature reserve than I did in my own backyard. They seemed less spooked when I walked the trail next to them. Maybe they are more used to people. They like to sit deep in the branches, though, which can be hard to shoot through. They were eating berries and darting in and out of cover. It was fun to watch and eventually I did get a decent shot.
