Thirsty Red Bird

A cardinal pauses between sips at the water feature in Chapman Mountain Nature Preserve in Huntsville, Alabama. 

I decided to get the big lens out and make sure everything was in working order.  Don't hold your breath but I might (just maybe) get to shoot a rodeo this weekend. It's been a long time.  We'll see.
