WOW! Don't do this unless you have tons of time on your hands. :D Seriously, I have spent hours downloading, going through pictures, adjusting the size to post. So out of about 1500 pictures here a just a few cool pictures. I'll post a few tonight and add some for a couple days. Beware it's still there and has a fresh card.

One of my favorites first.

Is this a new Mrs. Cardinal (first one still is camera shy :wink: ) or is it a first year Mr. Cardinal? The color is too bright? Hmm? (the cardinal is from my camera, having hardware isues)

those cameras are neat, had a friend once thought coons were getting into his deer feeder since corn was being tossed every where. He mounted a camera on it and gotthe greatest shot of a black bear shaking the dickings out of the can. lol

Great pics, I think the Cardinal is a male. Females are usually real bright red all over while the males are lighter in color. At least from the pics, it looks like a male.

I have a few cardinals and a couple Blue Jay's around my house. The one female Cardinal wasn't the brightest crayon in the box tho. She would hang out in the tree outside my daughter's bedroom and fly into the glass window. After 3 or 4 times of hitting the window, my daughter called me to her room to tell me to watch the stupid bird. She did it again several times before giving up. I think she had a bad headache when she was done LoL This went on for like 2 or 3 days. We thought about leaving the window opened for her to come in since she was so determined but decided that wouldn't be a good idea :D
I'm thinking maybe she was seeing her reflection and was attracted to the reflection not knowing it was herself LoL

Teddy, The male birds are always the brighter birds. That way when a predetor comes by the nest, pappa attracts their attention, while mamma blends into the nest, pappa flys away his bright colors catching the attention of the predetor and the nest is safe. :)

Here are a couple more I was trying for last night.

Awesome pictures.
I have a pair of Cardinals here at our bird feeders also.
Need to bust out the camera and get going here with pics to share with you folks.
Last nite, 22 deer about a hundred yards from the house.
Picture would have not turned out as it was late dusk.

This trail camera is fun, I love the way it catches things like the bird flying in and the squirrel jumping, try doing that with a regular camera. :D Thanks for the looks.

Bull get that camera out!

LoL I had a 50/50 shot, I don't know what I was thinking, I knew the males were brighter.
I did know that honest LoL For some reason I totally forgot though.

Love the pics, I need one of those trail cams to see what's been getting into my garbage cans at night. I hate having to pick up garbage in the mornings :-\

CG, no doubt the trail camera will catch the wildlife in action poses we would not too easily get sitting there and waiting. Some cool shots in this post, I like the squirrel the best.
