My parents have about four pair of Cardinals that frequently feed at my dad’s bird feeders each year. So while visiting for Christmas I had the chance to borrow my Uncle’s 20D and take a few photos of through the family room window. We had just gotten a fresh coating of snow and it was still sticking to the branches so the red birds really popped out against the background. The light was fading pretty fast so most of them were pretty soft trying to handhold a 300mm lens but for viewing on the web, and a little photoshop sharpening it seemed to do the trick.
