Is there no end to your talent, Joe?

This is a truly amazing pole picture. I doubt we'll see better in our lifetime.

Tell him he can't smoke that thing, Joe, 'cause he'll get as high as a kite...not that he'll probably mind!! :wacko:

Very nice and worthy of the T.A.H.O.P.O.P. archives, though you shouldn't be thinking of it as an obligation but rather a privilege!!

Did you PS that in? Joking, but that is kinda what it looks like, great shot, and I didn't think they would take a full peanut.

Do they take them right off the ground / stand or do you need to put them in a feeder?

Great "Planters" commercial Joe.

Whatever royalties I receive from the Limited Edition prints I will gladly donate to T.A.H.O.P.O.P. Since you are also the treasurer I presume you will want the cheque made out to you. So be it but since all of your executive decisions are made based on numbers of rum and coke is it safe to assume the coffers are close to depletion?

I had forgotten Blayne, what a true privilege it is to belong to this organization, so I will not consider this an obligation. I will refer to it as an outright (though I hate to part with it) donation.

If there is any PS in that shot Roger, I was going in the wrong direction. The Cardinal will take the peanut out of your back pocket if given enough time. No gimmicks require here. Peanuts gladly taken.

I'm thinking of turning this into Jimmy Carter's new company logo. Think he'll go for it?

Excellent capture Joe! TAHOPOP should be proud of it :)

[Roger]

Interesting, I didn't know they liked them, I'll have to try it. We have Cardinal around, but I have never fed them. I think I would need something to keep the squirrels away.

[Rudi]

I dunno who was smoking what, but that is a funny shot - talk about caught in the act! :D

[Ellen]

Cute, Lovely, Terrific picture Joe.

[Josée]

Awesome shot! My mom has a few resident cardinals who never stop amazing her when it's peanut time...apparently last year one guy started the habit of calling for her to refill the dish once it's been emptied!

TAHOPOP may be proud but I'm embarrassed, Igor.

Can't keep the squirrels away, Roger. Impossible.

I lured him with the peanut hoping to get a BIF but got a cartoon instead.

Cute, Lovely, Terrific picture Joe.

Thank you Ellen. But we all know the picture isn't good just funny.

If you are comparing this to your staged shots, you have the right to laugh. I can't compete with that.

Josee, I had the thrill of the year last week. The first ever Cardinal, a female, took a sunflower seed from my hand. Always thought the male would be the first. The Chickadees, Downies and Nuthatches do it all the time but never a Cardinal until now. No one there to record it so you'll have to take my word for it. Hopefully Jim or Bobby will have chance to record it if it happens again. Thanks Josee.

Nope I was laughing 'cause it's a hilarious photo :).

Great shot, Funny! I wonder if he had any trouble getting it open.

[Rob]

Nice shot Joe, How long does it take them to get the peanut ouT?

[bobber]

I pray.."God..I wanna be just like Joe when I grow up"...AMEN!!!!

[Joe F.N.]

Great shot, Funny! I wonder if he had any trouble getting it open.

Absolutely none Miriam. When he bites into the shell it literally explodes. A very powerful beak.

Nice shot Joe, How long does it take them to get the peanut ouT?

A mili-second Rob. A beak like your parakeets.

I pray.."God..I wanna be just like Joe when I grow up"...AMEN!!!!


If your prayers are answered, you're in big trouble.
