Maybe she isn't as flashy as the male, but the female cardinal still carries a regal bearing. This one stopped on our backyard deck railing just long enough for a formal portrait. The inexpensive ($99) teleconverter boosted the super-sharp 300mm telephoto lens to the equivalent of 450mm in focal length, yet yielded more than acceptable results.
