Mrs. Cardinal
Last week I posted a photo of Mr. Cardinal. Today I’m posting Mrs. Cardinal who was sitting several branches above him.
I took both of the photos on the same day during the 2009 Christmas Bird Count. It was a chilly morning and it had just stopped snowing. Once the sun came out it was perfect for photos.

Man, these are just fantastic pictures! I know I’ve mentioned before that I really need to get my bird feeder set up but I have yet to do it! I need to get going on this, I just love the birds that visit you 🙂 Great photos as always, Leslie! Have a safe and Happy New Year!

Lovely photo. I received 2 bird feeders for Christmas. I hope Mrs. Cardinal stops by.

Just gorgeous! My maternal grandmother lived with us at the end of her life. She passed away when I was five, but I remember watching birds with her and telling her you can tell the girl cardinals because they’re wearing lipstick. Thanks for the lovely reminder.

She looks so different and still beautiful! I’ve only seen cardinals a few times while on the east coast. I’m not sure if I would have known those were female cardinals had I seen them.
The server for my site has been down this morning (which is frustrating since I have no control over it). My apologies though! I’m still trying to get around to visit all of the Saturday posts.

What a lovely shot! Love cardinals but always see them on the ground and not at the feeder.

Well, isn’t she beautiful! We don’t generally have these in our area, but a few years ago during a snow storm a female showed up and stayed for several days. It was so nice to see one in person. Great shot!
