Northern Cardinal ???

Can you tell? I'm not sure because i don't see any crown..... They have a pretty whistled song with lots of slurred and repeated notes.
C/C welcome.

I believe that is a juvenile male. Sometimes their crowns are not so visible. Pretty birds aren't they? Nice shots.

Nice cardinal pics, cfc. It's hard to get eye shots on them.

Richard, Tupe, thank you for the compliments.
I didn't know the crown only comes when the male reaches certain age. :) It's good to know.

Good shots. Cardinals are difficult to shoot due to rapid movement. Good work.

Thanks Stan. Yupe, just like this one playing peekaboo with me. Only able to catch half his body. I gave up at the end. :oops:
