Cardinal closeups

[Mousetoescamper]

One of my backyard cardinals. Taken last week.











The cardinal found a recently deceased green June beetle on the deck. The beetle lost an air battle with another "Junebug."

1. Fabulous shots!

That guy has a lot of personality, which you did an excellent job of capturing! I love the first one!

6. Thanks!

He was tamer than any of the other songbirds that come to the deck, mostly to perch on the top beam.
