Very nice. I love the way cardinals stand out like little bursts of color against winter backgrounds.
Lana – even on the coldest, cloudiest days they certainly are nice birds to see!
Very beautiful. Such a pretty contrast – the Cardinal on the snow. Always a welcome visitor.
There’s no better time to appreciate the beauty ofa male cardinal than in the midst of a snowy winter!
Such a wonderful Friday Photo of this Cardinal!
Great image!
