I expect that they're "discussing" who's turn it is at the feeder (that must be near by). The larger version lets the cardinal separate from the oof twigs behind nicely and his feather sure do glow.

Hey John,
Great job get'n both the Cardinal and the Finch together and on pretty much the same focal plane. It does appear that there is a conversation going on between the two. I love the Title,
Well done . . . :toast:
