Today, along with the cardinal, I had the privilege to watch a couple of pairs of dark-eyed juncos feeding on the ground. The cardinal acts as their early warning system; when he flies away, these little ones do as well, or at least take to the shelter of the trees. I managed to catch this one before she hopped deeper into the branches. ISO was higher than I’d like (2500), but I prefer a “grainy” bird over a “blurry” bird.
