Birds are usually photographed with telephoto lenses, but with the help of my camera trap, I’ve been capturing lots of wide angle images. This was one of my favorites from last week as the cardinal appears to be torpedoing through the scene, wings down, ski jumper style. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 400, f/14 at 1/80th of a second, Cognisys camera box, trail monitor and flashes.
Thanks for the research. Cardinals are among my favorites and their rich “cardinal red” coloring is one of the reasons. I found this beige red color odd
But interesting.

Color looks dull so must be the female. Wonder how she flies with wings tucked like that. More like a glide
What a great action shot!!
Flapping is for chumps.
Hidden camera catches fun shots.
Very cool. That is a juvenile bird– just looked it up because doesn’t look like adult male or female cardinal.
