I hand hold the camera for all my photos (I used to use a monopod or tripod for distance and macro, but the VR lenses don't seem to require it). I crop the images down in Aperture (I'm a Mac).
The Story Behind "Red and the Peanut"
Red and the Peanut is named after my first bird memory. When I was about six, I was at my Great Aunt Mary's house and she was telling me about Red and the peanut. "Red" was a Northern Cardinal that had trained Aunt Mary to feed it peanuts on demand. Since Aunt Mary's "Red" started it all, what better name could I choose?

I love how close you were able to get to her face so you could see the snow on it. Such pretty birds!
Thanks, Kallen. I'll pass it on. If you look closely, you can see one perfect snowflake to the left of her eye.
Excellent shot! I love it when bird portraits actually work.
