[QUOTE=Bill W;88192]Love your f Cardinal's pose Joel....nice capture. Thanks Pat and it's good to see Nate posting again. He and Joel take great pix day in and day out.

Jealous of Nate's HB pic....I don't have any flowers blooming yet.

Here's a real PITA at my feeding stations, but IMO, the Grackles' iridescence rivals the Ruby-throated HBs in my garden.
