All nice but the cardinal shot is excellent. The light makes it special. Good detail.

All beautiful, of course. That just goes without saying. The tufted titmouse is absolutely precious. The female cardinal is gorgeous. So nice to see the hummingbird. Pierre, do you think?

Excellent capture of the humming bird. I wish I could take a picture like that.

When you become tired of this cast of beautiful characters, it's time to seek another hobby!

How thoughtful of the Cardinal to have donned her favorite "bling" for the photo shoot!

Gail, these are all simply superb photographs. Thank you for sharing them!
