Love it when they cooperate a little.
Amorous Cardinal sounds a little like a great band name or maybe a cautionary email in the Vatican.
Most of the shots of small birds were attempts to get the telephoto to focus on the bird and not the surrounding brush. A few actually came out!
The rocks along the creek*, on the other hand, were quite cooperative in remaining still.
* - Rocks were brought in from a nearby quarry I think. They’re there to stabilize the creek bank below the dam and protect a road and parking lot.
