I hope you enjoyed this Holiday Cardinal as much as I did...or should I say Northern Cardinal!

Thank you! I have enjoyed seeing Cardinals at my home since the beginning of November. Prior to this, they were extremely rare visitors, only staying for a day or two as they passed through.

Thanks Carol! I was so pleased that this Cardinal cooperated for pictures, making it possible to put that image on my mpix.com calendar that I made for my parents. My Mom made the wreath, and both of my parents love feeding the birds as much as I do!

Thanks Jeff! I got to say, I was feeling pretty lucky! Usually when I'm watching out the window, I have a cat or two, jump in the window sill and scare every bird away!

Thank you, much appreciated!

Great set! The cardinals were my favorite birds to watch at my grandparents' house in Sallisaw, OK. Beautiful birds.
