Red

Cardinals are one of our year round birds and when it snows it is particularly impressive to see the bright red against the white. We had a bit of snow & ice a couple of weeks ago and I caught these two male cardinals having a snack. The guy in the foreground was on the move so he is a bit fuzzy.

    As we don't have cardinals in Ireland, I always enjoy seeing photos of them especially against the snow.

    Beautiful birds. I have a hard time photographing them down here. They seem to be very shy!

    They are such beautiful birds. It's rare to see them here in winter. I wonder if the ones in this area tend to stick to more rural areas.

    I am envious of the colors: the best I can do now is a couple of very black blackbirds!

    They're lovely. We don't have anything close to that over here. Maybe a glimpse of kingfisher - but you wouldn't see them in a garden unless you were VERY lucky! I'd love to see cardinals up close.

    Beautifully Red!
    Perhaps, Toronto should consider a different name for the Baseball Team, eh? :)
    Just kidding!
    Have a Happy Day!
    Peace :)
