Wild Bird Wednesday

WIld Bird Wednesday 34:

I never tire of Cardinal pictures.  They are so vivid and perky ... I love to watch them.  Usually they flit in and out of the feeder and off to a more secluded place to eat, but this morning he was more leisurely and I was there to capture it.  Enjoy ...

Lovely shots. I never tire of Cardinals either, they are such a bright spot on the winter landscape.

What a red beauty! Great close up shots. First time I see this bird. We don`t have this vivid bird in Norway.

It's the snow that sets off the cardinals so well. :) We have snow in our forecast tonight and tomorrow. First sizable snow all winter.

Such a stunning bird. Thank you. He also looks to be a cheeky chappy (and I hope I am right).

You're right about their color. I don't get too see them too often (working inside all day). Thanks for sharing.

cardinals are one of my favorite birds, esp in winter. but mine are scardey-cats when I get anywhere near my window & hard to catch with my camera (only way I can catch them, lol) I do have some featured this week, so seeing yours made me stop over. thanks for sharing!

Stunning! When I see my red cardinal outside I know it's gonna be a great day!

"when one tires of cardinals, one is tired of life" - or something like that!

The Australian and American wood ducks are not closely related - some books call mine a Maned Duck to avoid using the same, but I have never known anybody in the "field" to call them that.

Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

They look even more striking with the snow falling. Very pretty.
