Cardinal rising

Category: Birds

A nice female cardinal showing off her feather coloring. I don’t see her mate very often.

I’ve taken some other images of her I’ll be posting in the future.

She’s a beauty! Each feather is so elegantly defined. Sweet!! Do you ever see blue jays? They seem to have disappeared around here.

In everyday life we never have the pleasure of seeing any bird in such a graceful position. Great shot Rick.

Thanks Deb and Denice. She is about as cute as it gets, and I think she knows it. I don’t often get such an elegant pose.

Her beak looks very large, seen sideways like that. Very much an instrument of business!
