Fascination

This little guy has been at the kitchen window every day for almost a week. I'm not sure why, but he's been jumping up and down, fluttering and pecking on the window-glass, and singing his pretty Cardinal songs. Either he's fascinated by my camera, is in love with his reflection, is enjoying the attention, or maybe he's a departed soul trying to contact someone! :) Whatever the reason, it's been fun observing him.

Canon PowerShot S3 IS
1/500s f/3.5 at 61.4mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great shot and lucky to have such a close up view of a normally very skittish bird! You are an excellent "den mother" to all these gorgeous critters and birds, January! ~BV~

Ah, it's spring and mating season...he's challenging the handsome stranger in the window to go away!!! This is his territory and no other mighty male may stay.lol It is adorable to watch, ours does it to the garage door window. Such wonderful shots you are getting!!!

Excellent and very cute closeup, January! Beautiful warm light with vivid colors. Well done.

Great close-up, January. It's hard to analyze motives, especially for birds. The photographer's motive, however, was to get a beautiful capture. Vote

He's saying "....fffooooood!" Ignore him and just keep taking his picture!!
Bryan Murahashi21-Mar-2008 13:51
Beautiful shot, January. Looks like he's enjoying his reflection. V
Neal Nye21-Mar-2008 12:07
Formidable! I'm glad I'm not the one he views as competition. I'd go somewhere else!
Guest 21-Mar-2008 10:34
beautiful close-up of this gorgeous one Jan.

Solid punk with a country soul. And, I said it before; it's a full Cardinal crush. Unless, he is only pure rocker and taken with his own reflection in the storm window. Hammer is going to get all cat-like now; that should be good for some local January humor. Hammer lays the Garfield on Doby the Cardinal. I'll put my Benjamins on the Cardinal ;-) Great shot of pure Cardinal attitude. g

Perhaps he is fascinated by you, January!?:) Handsome admirer, anyway - and singing, too..lucky you! V!
Pat Shawyer21-Mar-2008 06:47
He's gorgeous, can you send him to me in England please?
Sandi Whitteker21-Mar-2008 06:27
Isn't that interesting. What great fun to watch. You didn't mention cat burgler. Ok, may be unlikely for a bird to try to steal a cat. Super shot January.
Debbie Blackburn Beierle21-Mar-2008 06:23
He is just the CUTEST! What a fun and special experience!!
Guest 21-Mar-2008 05:11

Excellent close-up January! I agree with Tom> He see that other bird and want to put a hurt on him~! V
Tricia21-Mar-2008 04:52
What a lovely shot, and so nice for you to have him to visit every day.
Chad Ramsey21-Mar-2008 04:30
Perfect catch January! :-))) It's a beauty, so fun and full of life~V
Tom Munson21-Mar-2008 04:30
Great shot January. I think he wants to kick that other males butt out of his area, v
