Default Look at the Birdies!
From a trip- birds in Hawaii are almost tame.

Does anyone know what kind of finches these are?



Also a type of cardinal



I was still learning how to use the camera and lens for the cardinal- the focus on his head could be better (and I'm still learning- mostly from DPS)

Wow, beautiful little birds! As much as I love photographing animals, I find them tough subjects - always on the move & difficult to keep in focus! You've done great capturing these little fellas though.

They are called Java Finches
That's a nice shot on the cardinal as well.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.
