You're so very lucky.....we had a male drop by for 30 seconds two days ago....pleasant surprise. The Redpolls are eating us out of house & home but they too are more than welcome. You must have a wonderful eye & camera(s).
Its always a joyful moment when I see that flash of cardinal red around our feeders. I never tire of them. This species is not a daily visitor; but this one (if it is the same one) has dropped by quite often this winter. Redpolls are enjoyable too and its fun to search the group in case there is a Hoary among them.
Very pretty....Cardinals are the state bird for Indiana, so I get lots of them year round. They are always a bright spot of color on any day. What kind of camera do you use for your photos? They are so sharp and clear.
Mary... I see that a Northern Cardinal is the state bird for 6 other states as well; a beautiful choice! Our provincial bird is the Black-capped Chickadee, which is also the state bird for Maine and Massachusetts.
My camera is a Canon 20D and I use a Canon 100-400mm IS telephoto lens.
Naturenut... although we have the Northern Cardinal present in our province it is not everyone that gets to see one. An elderly friend has never seen one yet. My first sighting of one was in Florida in 2000. This is probably the third winter that we have had one visiting in our feeder area on a somewhat irregular basis.

There are 63 covered bridges in the province of New Brunswick and I love finding them in those 'out of the way' places. I have photographed most all of them, with only about 4 or 5 yet to locate. I still have many photos yet to post on my New Brunswick Covered Bridges blog. If you would like to visit and see more pictures of Covered Bridges, just click on the picture above.

I appreciate your comments.
Sadly, no Cardinals in Oregon. Oh how I'd love to have them visit my feeder and backyard!
