Northern Cardinals

I've not had an opportunity to get out much over the paste couple on months but here are a couple of image from last month.

1. Male

Nice Stephen, love the fluffed up male and the female is such a pretty one.

Love the puffed up male, Stephen, and agree, the females are lookers too. I wish we had more of these guys around here. Not only do I miss their colour, I miss hearing their treetop songs in the spring season.

Nice shots. The color of the male is great.

Brilliant red on the first shot Stephen... I really like the composition of that second female cardinal, beautifully done.

The female shot has a very Christmassy feel Just need some snow!

Nice shots Stephan, I like the male but both are real nice, great job!

thanks Dave. They had been coming to the Blue Spruce so I set up and waited. I to a couple of keeper shots over about 45 minutes.

Thank you BG.

These both are very nice, beautiful birds, well done! The Cardinals are very numerous here, as many as 25 will come to my feeder at once but only early and late, so far not enough light to get good shots so I'm envious.

Grizz thank you. These were photographed at a lical wildlfe garden but I've had only up to 3 pairs at a time that drop by 3-4 times per day at my home so I usually have opportunities for some daylight shots.

Both very nice shots and I prefer the females of that species too.
