I can only try
to get the birds I want photos of by luring them with certain foods or putting the camera in certain areas but in the end, the birds decide what I end up with. After a long absence from the camera rolls, a male Cardi finally came again, and the sunlight kissed him and revealed all his glory. He is a big boy now but there are still some “teenage specks” visible in his feathers. He returned several times and made it known that he was not happy when the bowl was empty. The little Goldfinch lady was tolerated and seemed to be impressed. But who would not be? He is a worthy carrier of the title King of the Yard.
