It was an icy January morning in 2011, and I was snapping photos of the birds in our back yard here in north central Louisiana. I do this often from our back deck, it is like therapy for me! I was so happy to capture this fella's pose that day.

I took this photo from the window where I sit with my laptop every morning. This cardinal entertained me by sitting at the feeder for about 10 minutes!
This red bird does not seem to know that spring and summer are gone because it still enjoys the same branches it did when they were pretty and green.
This photo is a bit blurry, it was far up in a tree and I was worried about it flying away, but it still amazes me!
I followed, and finally saw the elusive cardinal in our backyard! He was very hard to get any pictures of, he was feeding his young who were in the maple tree.
This was taken in our yard. The wind blew down the feeder and my favorite cardinal and his mate had fun eating out of the bird feeder on the ground.
This is my Red Cardinal that stays in our old shed out back. He comes back every year in the winter.
It took a bit of editing to get this fella to this point of visibility. But, he actually was sitting there, wide awake, way past his bed time.
The northern cardinal, also know as a redbird or common cardinal is easily recognizable. The male sports a distinctive crest along with its brilliant red plumage. This is a page about the northern cardinal.
I saw my first cardinal this year, when we put out our grandson's new birdhouse. A beautiful sight to behold!
The tranquility of the snow falling as a beautiful pair of cardinals rest on the bird feeder, was a picture I couldn't resist taking. :)
Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal stopped off at my feeder here for a rare appearance together. They are usually separate eating while one watches. This time they were brave enough to be together
This beautiful snowy day brought some special visitors, a couple of cardinals sharing a meal and an adventure! There is also another bird that looks like it might be a woodpecker, and several other varieties of beautiful creatures, all having a nice winter meal!
