Scenes from a spring afternoon

I am loving my new Olympus digi camera with 30x zoom lens. Here are some backyard friends visiting this afternoon. Little chippy has found a perfect perch.

Mrs. Cardinal. At least she's got some lipstick and rouge on.

Mr. Cardinal. Oh you think you are all that...

some other unidentified friends. Chickadees? I always thought morning was a big feeding time but around here, late afternoon is abuzz with activity.
