LOL. I love cardinals, my wife had one she brought up from an infant (must have fallen out of the nest) when she was young. Unfortunately I haven't managed to get a decent or even half decent photo of one, much less the excellent ones in this thread!
What focal length are these at?

I used a Pentax K10D camera with a Sigma 50-500 APO EX DG lens stacked on a Sigma 1.4X APO EX DG matched TC for a total focal length in 35mm equivalence of 1080mm. All were shot hand held while sitting in my rocking chair on my front porch, and at 25-30 feet distance.

They are nice, but I think with a tripod your shots at this focal length would be much nicer. I don't use my DSLR for birds because it has no IS. I still use my old Panasonic FZ30 with or without a 1.7X converter. It does OK I think, although these are only good as web sized images.

Why do the males have their crests "down" this time of year? Isn't mating season coming soon?
Although...most already have a mate so they don't have to impress as much...at least I rarely see a lone cardinal...

The tripod will come later. My main purpose was to get as good as I can without one. I have 11 grandkids and 1 great grandchild and I want to be able to photograph them . I figured small birds would be a good exercise.
