A male cardinal has discovered the feeder and he's been dropping by for a twilight snack for a few evenings now. Today it's raining and overcast, everything's flat and gray, and when I heard the cardinal chirping outside the window, I decided a bright red bird would probably make the best picture the day was going to offer.
Except I forgot to turn the flash off, and all I got was a huge lens flare off the window. The cardinal was not frightened away by the flash, as birds often are. A female perched in the nearby maple had initially escaped my notice, but not his. I turned the flash off and watched as he selected a sunflower seed and flew up to her branch. I zoomed in as he offered his gift; she leaned in; their beaks touched; a red light started blinking; CHANGE THE BATTERIES.
Damn damn damn damn damn. Why are these rechargeables only worth three or four shots?
