Mrs Cardinal

We got a big dump of heavy wet snow overnight, all clinging to every branch of every tree, and 4 inches on the ground. This was taken from my kitchen. The windows here need replacing - a film inside that can't be cleaned, so I opened the window, lifted the screen and shot through the opening. As you can see, it's still snowing as I shot this pic.
OK, who's going to be first to tell me this pose is too weird?

This is wierd.. just kidding great shot the poor cardinal had to really hang on with its feet.

Hey Jim,

LOL, glad I am not at home. :P Do you know if it hit the City at all, or just upstate? Nice shot.

She's holding on, at a steep angle, but doing well. Great detail. How far away were you from her I wonder?

James - I think the center of the universe got some snow too, but not sure. We're back to rain and much warmer here in upstate - Utica area.
For MikeK: Range to the Cardinal was 13 feet or so (just outside of min focus, so I know it's over 12)
