Cardinals
It's time for sharing some Lens Friends ... those birds and animals that I spend a lot of time photographing.
All eyes are at the window when we see the brilliant red cardinal in the garden. Cardinals visit all year round but of course are much more visible in the winter months.
At times we have up to 4 pair of cardinals visiting the garden. The male is such a vivid colour he is easy to spot in the trees on feeding on the ground. He usually stays to the back of the garden so it makes capturing him through my lens a bit more challenging.
The female, a duller brown colour with the odd bit of red, is a more adventuresome and will visit the flat feeder and even come onto the deck.
Thanks for visiting today.
An impressive looking bird, the pictures are a joy to see Linda.

Such good photos of cardinal. I find them very hard to get good photos because they are very wary at the feeder. You photos are really nice and close, plus they are pointed in the right direction. Mine always show me their backsides. Ha.
ReplyDeleteI get plenty of backside photos, but the joy of digital is you can take oodles and oodles and delete the ones you don't want. :)
ReplyDeleteVery lovely photos. I love these little birds!
ReplyDeleteI love to see the cardinals in the yard too. The male always stays at the feeder farthest away and so is hard to capture. The female will come to the closer one. They are so colourful. Lovely photos Linda.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures - especially of the female cardinal! These pictures made me smile. I have a pear tree right outside my window where I sit and watch the Cardinals, Blue Jays, Woodpeckers and many other birds feed at the feeders. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely on my "bird" list of birds to see. But we don't have Cardinals here, at least I don't think that we do...
ReplyDeleteSo maybe a trip is in order.

I was at the window today taking pictures of our Cardinals, we have only 2 pairs and they do not feed quitely together. Great shots Linda!
