Glamour Boy
This was an experiment...I took this photo of this lovely male Cardinal through our bedroom window (triple paned glass) out through the railing of our deck to our feeder lol..I honestly didn't think it would even turn out!! I liked it so here it is for something completely different lol ;)
"Medium-sized songbird.
Large crest on head.
Heavy, conical red bill.
Face surrounded by black.
Male entirely brilliant red.
Female grayish-tan with red tail and wings.
Size: 21-23 cm (8-9 in)
Wingspan: 25-31 cm (10-12 in)
Weight: 42-48 g (1.48-1.69 ounces)"
Enjoy!!

Wow....this is stunning!! Great shot through the window.

Lucky you! Great shot.
Sometimes that's the only way to catch a bird. They will not come around when you're out there.

he's beautiful!! I take bird shots through the windows quite a bit. As long as you are looking directly out the window (not at an angle) and the window is clean you should be fine! If you take the shot on an angle you can get a ghost bird :/

For having to go through three panes of glass, the shot still looks quite clear. I like the background bokeh as well.
