 I loved the way this cardinal was puffed up against the cold. They rarely sit this still for me long enough to capture them in perfect profile like this.

I find local cardinals to be far less skittish than most birds expecially when trying to impress. Great shot.

Pretty. Cardinals visit our backyard often but soooo briefly! They grab a seed or two from the feeder and are off. Love the way this one posed on a branch for you.

Wonderful capture and I love how you've set the bright red against the blandish color of the background.
