Northern Cardinal (female)

Thank you Bevie :) This is the point where she saw me in the window. I held my breath, kept as still as I could and CLICKED!....lol The cardinals are so incredibly timid. I’ve been over 3 years trying to get a half decent shot

Thank you very much Andrei :)

Thank you very much for the kind comment :)

Thank you sweetie. You’re not going to believe this…...after all this time trying to get decent shots of this cardinal pair the MALE landed in the same area tonight! He RARELY does that – always stays in the bushes or on the ground under the bushes.

Thank you very much Lori! You are always so sweet & encouraging. I appreciate your lovely notes :)

Thank you very much Veronica. I know you love birds just as much as I do :)

Thank you very much for the kind note Michelle! :)

Thank you very much for the kind note & fav Larry :) I’d love to say this happened overnight but it didn’t…lol I’ve been 3 years trying to get half decent images of this lovely cardinal pair :)

Thanks so much for the lovely note Leilani. Yes, luck was FINALLY on my side for this one. I’ve been forever trying to get a nice image of this lovely lady :)

lol…I’m not so sure about that (on a regular basis anyway). I do hold my breath alot when it’s a shot I really REALLY want to get…LOL Thank you Sher :)

Thank you very much Blair! Lady luck was on my side for once :) The cardinals so rarely stay out in the open I’ve found it to be quite a challenge getting a nice photo of them.

Thank you very much Michael! I’m so glad you like her :)

Thank you very much Daniel! :)

That is ALWAYS the way Leilani. I see the most GORGEOUS things when I don’t have my camera (which isn’t often) OR I’m in a rush and simply don’t have time to stop.

Thank you very much!
