It may have been cold for the past week, but there is lots of action outside. I'm having trouble getting a decent photo of the cardinal. Oh, well. There are many pros out there who can do so. The cardinal only visits about once a year. This is the time!
Bambi, however, is an easier target. We have two females and a fawn that have been visiting.
Then there is the tricky cardinal. I put the 400mm lens on, stood outside in subzero temps, on the back deck, with the camera on a tripod. Even so...
I managed a video of a woodpecker and a chickadee on the feeder (below).
The light, fluffy snow is wonderful for snowshoeing. It's quite deep, and excellent exercise! I grabbed a photo of the berries in the bog. Such a bright red.
I dragged the camera with the zoom lens and tripod, hoping to grab a shot. Nothing captured my eye, other than the berries. I heard a pileated woodpecker, but it was shy.

Never really tied bird photography other that a Robin that posed for me
Until our first RV trip east from Oregon I had never seen a cardinal... there aren't any in the Pacific Northwest. I only saw them on Christmas cards! And that's what your pictures remind me of.
You are taking great advantage of your wintery weather -- lovely pictures.
So nice to have these creatures hang around. We've been enjoying our visitors also. Lovely pics.
I love the cute deer and the cardinals are beautiful. Lovely series and post. Have a great evening!
Good for your for getting out when it's nasty. As you know , some of the best shots happen when it's inclement.

Oh I am envious of your colourful cardinal!! Not to mention deer virtually on your doorstep. Sigh. YAMxx
