This bird was a little difficult to get a good shot of at first but with a little luck and even more patience (that did eventually pay off), I got these wonderful shots.
Enjoy!
All photos taken by @jschindler with a Nikon P900.
Lovely, living art that bird, @jschindler! Was just discussing bird-watching with a neighbor this morning and how rare it was to see a cardinal, here, in Florida. We do get colorful parrots, hawks, herons and lots and lots of pigeons :)
Thank you, by the way, for supporting my poetry and I hope you're having a lovely day 🙏
Ya I'll get around to it (A real post that is) eventually. Work has been non stop and will be posting again once we slow down, I get some free time, hire more people, or take some vacation days...lol Take care bro!
Thanks for the kind words! I ended up having problems with this camera the first time I took it outside in the cold weather and it no longer works. :( I plan on getting a new one at some point soon.
I think that is the most colorful bird I've ever seen. Is it real? Then again, the name suggests that it is. So I'll go with that as a yes. Great photos. I've found birds to be difficult, they seldom stand still for long. Then again, when they do, the cat is a large threat, so keep movin', bird, keep movin. Thanks for showing me a classic bird I've never seen. Wonder if they are up in our neck of the woods? Cheers
Thank you! Yes it is VERY colorful (and real lol). You're welcome, these birds are mainly in the S/E U.S. plus East coast during their breeding season and down into mexico for the winter. So I'm not totally surprised you haven't seen any up there near you. I've only recently discovered the males are the same color (green) as the female when they are young(1-2 yrs old), then molt, change color and only live to be about 5 years old with a max of around 10. I believe I recently got a picture of an adolescent male because it looks Exactly like the female, only there is a blue spot appearing behind one of his eyes. They are very shy and it has taken a couple months now with the feeder to get the males to "come out of the woods" as they say. Thanks again for stopping by and commenting!
You delegated to @super8ballclub for verification but we couldn't find your verification post. Please tell me your game tracking name so that I could verify you.
No worries, I have not created an account, or verification post yet. I wanted to delegate the 25 SP mainly because I support your project and the great idea. I would have delegated more but then I would lose my voting bar (< 500SP) so this is the most I could do. I'm also a Billiards fan as well but sadly I have not spent much time playing electronic games of any kind in the past 10 years. This could change in the future. :)
Thanks for reaching out though! If/when I create an account I'll get in touch!
