This male Cardinal seemed to be hiding among the leaves as I tried to get a shot of him. As I got closer I realized that he was in the process of getting new feathers growing in, getting ready for the winter ahead.

Handsome fellow!
Red&Green. Great shot.
All the females will be after him when he gets his new feathers!
Have a blessed day!
It's time to thicken that coat. I love seeing cardinals. I don't see them enough.
The birds know the seasons are changing. What a pretty photo!
A beautifully colored bird. I wish there were such colorful birds here too.
Difficult to hide when you are completely bright red from beak to tail.
A beautiful bird, great capture.
Beautiful - but shy.

That is a fine portrait of this Cardinal. I always enjoy seeing them even though they are a common bird.

All kinds of critters getting set for cooler weather.
They are the most attractive little birds.
Nice photograph.
Beautiful bird and shot!
So nice to see. I spot very few here. I used to see them often in Sarnia.
Beautiful bird well captured.
