Awwww....I just love the Cardinals. They are so pretty and fun to watch. I hope that maybe I can get some good pictures this spring and summer as the birds get more accustomed to me being in the yard. The zoom lens on my digital camera is pretty worthless though, and I'm not impressed with even the close ups it takes of anything small.

I just got a new Konica-Minolta Z3, it has 12x optical and 4x digital zoom. Plus you can buy an optical doubler I think. I'm still trying to figure it out, but I took this Red Tailed Hawk about 40 feet up and 1/8 of a mile away. There are a pair of them rebuilding last year's and dancing in the sky every morning.
