this afternoon after i returned from babysitting and running a few other errands in town, i came home and noticed a bit of activity at my bird feeders...i came in the house and got my binoculars, as well as my camera, just in case...
imagine my sheer delight when i saw a beaufitul male northern cardinal at my feeder!!...i could hardly believe it!...in living here for 27 years, i've never seen one in the trees around my property...i guess it pays to feed the birds!!...
the image i shared here is one i found online....eventually, i'd like to be able to share my own!... :-)
....
also, here's a great link for some wonderful information and a few images and sound clips of cardinals (as well as pictures of a few look-alikes) ...http://www.birds.cornell.edu/BOW/norcar/
i absolutely love cardinals...i've only ever seen two others in real life before, and that was on a field trip out in maine for my bird ecology class...
so, seeing this one today really made this grey, gloomy day seem absolutely wonderful....
....
if anyone has any questions about cardinals or other birds, feel free to leave a comment...i'll try my best to answer them!!...
have a great day, everyone!!
