Welcome to my world of backyard birding. Here I post notes on birds that I see in my yard, while driving, or anytime my eyes and ears are open to the world around me.

Male Northern Cardinal
What's more striking (and sublime) than a male Northern Cardinal screaming its color against a backdrop of snow? Where's the snow you ask? Everywhere, actually, except within the frame of this portrait. Ha!
From a far distance I shot this image of a cardinal waiting his turn at my backyard feeder. The distance, in fact, exceeded the zoom capacity of my camera, resulting in an image that appears more like a painting than a photograph. Either way, this is one bird that always shines.
Till next time . . . Keep birds in your heart!

p.s. I owe you one photo of a cardinal against a backdrop of snow.

They do certainly glow against the winter background. I'm lucky enough to have four "regulars" at my feeder this winter.
