Male and Female Cardinal by

I have attempted all winter to get an image of a male and female Cardinal together in one image here at our home in Southeast Missouri USA. I even used two images to create an image to show the beauty of these birds. Today I finally succeed. This is the real thing, no photoshop. This image is as is, the only edits is RAW processing in Photoshop.

Nikon D40X with Nikon 300mm VR lens on manual focus

Thank you Gregg!

    Congratulations indeed. A fine pair they are. Here in New England I see 20 males for every female.

  • Thank you Barry, we seem to have a fairly balanced population here but we live in the edge of a large forest area.

    Exquisite my friend! I have two pair in the woods behind me and so far about 100 feet is as close as I have gotten even on my feeders. ~Sam

  • Thank you Sam, these were about 20 feet away from me.

    Awesome shot. I would love to get a photo of the cardinals that frequent our yard, here in Ohio, but, they are very elusive.

  • Thank you, These come to two feeders I have on my deck so they have gotten some what used to me but they are still very shy.
