I think this is a juvenile female cardinal, judging from the color of the bill and from her childlike curiosity, hanging around the feeder longer than usual and looking around with intense interest and not a whole lot of nervousness as is evident in more mature birds. A beautiful trusting little girl!

This little finch found a place of safety on the bannister under my front porch during a chilly, rainy day. In fact, if you View Larger, you can detect a few raindrops on her tiny noggin. With her feathers all fluffed up, she looked cute and cozy and a bit plump so I called her Roly Poly. Maybe, like many of us, she’s thinking, “Got to shed some of that extra baggage in the upcoming New Year.” Oh, and one more thing, don’t you just love those tiny talons peeking out from her feathers? Looks like she’s just had a pedicure and she’s showing off her dainty toes!

I merged two shots for this image, one of a male Northern cardinal and one of a female cardinal, and then I applied the Orton effect to give it a more dreamy effect. Just experimenting and having fun!

I stood in the snow behind the tripod, so quietly that one bird landed on my lens! What joy. I couldn’t actually say we bonded, but I was thrilled. I’ve had birds land on my hat, but never one that I could see so closely. Featured in Alaska ~ Beyond Your Dreams – Thank you! Shot in RAW. Slight curves adjustment, at the suggestion of Eivor. The snowfall made it necessary to bump up the ISO to 320. I tried ISO 640 at one point, but those looked a tad grainy. This is a male Common Redpoll in today’s snowfall. Note snowflake on his back. Our area has so far eluded Mt. Redoubt’s harsh volcanic particles, although Alaska Airlines and FedEx had to suspend all flights in and out yesterday.

Featured in All Countries~Wetlands, Ponds, Lakes, and Rivers I woke very early, and headed with my all my gear to a marsh not far from my place that has provided me with many photographic subjects. I was not to be disappointed with my lack of sleep, and the chill in the early morning air. Red-winged blackbird songs created a symphony of sounds, as the birds began their feeding, hopping from one lily pad to the next, finding grubs on the tops and often on the bottoms as they lifted the large leaves. Most of the action required that I shoot into the sun. I was not expecting great shots, but one or two captured the scene the way I witnessed it. In this shot a female is standing “ankle deep” in a pool of rain water on the surface of a large floating water lily, just as the sun is breaking the horizon and sending first beams of light onto this magical world. The Cornell University Ornithology site provides much information about the red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus), including its calls, on the excellent website. Nikon D300, Nikkor f4 600 mm lens and 1.4 teleconverter on a Gitzo 1325 tripod. Image captured about 20 kilometres west of Campbell River, on Vancouver Island, Canada.

Featured in Canon DSLR, August 8, 2009. / Featured in Songbirds of North America, August 8, 2009. Featured in the Woman Photographer August 6, 2009 Female Northern Cardinal image taken on my property, in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada on August 5, 2009. Male mate to this lovely female. / Canon EOS Rebel XTi with 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens @ 320mm. SS 1/125, f/5.6, EC -1/3, ISO 400 (How it turned out with this shutter speed, through a window, AND hand held is beyond me!...lol) Tonal adjustments completed in Digital Photo Professional & PShop. Northern Cardinal info. courtesy of Wikipedia. The Northern Cardinal is a mid-sized songbird with a body length of 20-23 centimeters long and a wingspan of 25–31 centimeters. It weighs about 45 grams. The male is slightly larger than the female. The male is a brilliant crimson red with a black face mask over the eyes, extending to the upper chest. The color is dullest on the back and wings. The female is fawn, with mostly grayish-brown tones and a reddish tint on the wings, the crest, and the tail feathers. The face mask of the female is gray to black and is less defined than that of the male. Both sexes possess prominent raised crests and bright coral-colored beaks. Mated pairs sometimes sing together before nesting. During courtship they may also participate in a bonding behavior where the male collects food and brings it to the female, feeding her beak-to-beak. If the mating is successful, this mate-feeding may continue throughout the period of incubation. The oldest wild Cardinal banded by researchers lived at least 15 years and 9 months.

A female Common Merganser flaps her wings as she runs along the waters surface gaining speed for her take off!. Mergansers feed on small fish, insects, mollusks, crustaceans, worms, frogs, small mammals, birds, and plants. / Gulls of various species will often follow flocks of foraging Common Mergansers. The gulls wait for the ducks to come to the surface with fish, and then they try to steal their prey. Occasionally even a Bald Eagle will try to steal a fish from a successful merganser. Length / 54–71 cm ( 21.3–28 in) / Wingspan / 86 cm (33.9 in) / Weight / 900–2160 g (31.7–76.2 oz ) “PHOTO INFORMATION” Taken on Dec 1/09 at 11:29:23 am along the Cowichan River in the Cowichan Valley ( south east Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada). / Camera; Canon 40D / Lens; Canon EF 100-400 L IS USM lens. / Manfrotto tripod, including joystick head. / Taken at 1/1600’s at f/10, EV -1/3, 400 mm, iso 500, man col bal 5060 kelvin. / Changed to blk & wht via channel mixer selecting 100% red channel and than painting back the bird. Sharpened via lab mode, duplicate layer, lightness channel, unsharpmask ( amount 25, radius 5, threshold 2). Note; I chose to selectively color this series due to the bird blending in too much to its surroundings. The earthy/golden shaded dry grasses, reflected on the water’s surface and the Merganser just didn’t quite stand out well enough.

Best View Larger This was taken 01/08/2008 in my backyard. The female ended up with the male on the right. Canon 50D / Canon 70-200mm lens Cool Facts Only a few female North American songbirds sing, but the female Northern Cardinal does, and often while sitting on the nest. This may give the male information about when to bring food to the nest. A mated pair shares song phrases, but the female may sing a longer and slightly more complex song than the male. / Many people are perplexed each spring by the sight of a cardinal attacking its reflection in a window, car mirror, or shiny bumper. Both males and females do this, and most often in spring and early summer when they are obsessed with defending their territory against any intruders. Birds may spend hours fighting these intruders without giving up. A few weeks later, as levels of aggressive hormones subside, these attacks should end (though one female kept up this behavior every day or so for six months without stopping). / The male cardinal fiercely defends its breeding territory from other males. When a male sees its reflection in glass surfaces, it frequently will spend hours fighting the imaginary intruder. / A perennial favorite among people, the Northern Cardinal is the state bird of seven states. / The oldest recorded Northern Cardinal was 15 years 9 months old. Habitat Open WoodlandLook for Northern Cardinals in dense shrubby areas such as forest edges, overgrown fields, hedgerows, backyards, marshy thickets, mesquite, regrowing forest, and ornamental landscaping. Cardinals nest in dense foliage and look for conspicuous, fairly high perches for singing. Growth of towns and suburbs across eastern North America has helped the cardinal expand its range northward. Food SeedsNorthern Cardinals eat mainly seeds and fruit, supplementing these with insects (and feeding nestlings mostly insects). Common fruits and seeds include dogwood, wild grape, buckwheat, grasses, sedges, mulberry, hackberry, blackberry, sumac, tulip-tree, and corn. Cardinals eat many kinds of birdseed, particularly black oil sunflower seed. They also eat beetles, crickets, katydids, leafhoppers, cicadas, flies, centipedes, spiders, butterflies, and moths. Nesting Nesting Facts / Clutch Size / 2–5 eggs / Egg Length / 0.9–1.1 in / 2.2–2.7 cm / Egg Width / 0.7–0.8 in / 1.7–2 cm / Incubation Period / 11–13 days / Nestling Period / 7–13 days / Egg Description / Grayish white, buffy white, or greenish white speckled with pale gray to brown. / Condition at Hatching / Naked except for sparse tufts of grayish down, eyes closed, clumsy.Nest Description / Males sometimes bring nest material to the female, who does most of the building. She crushes twigs with her beak until they’re pliable, then turns in the nest to bend the twigs around her body and push them into a cup shape with her feet. The cup has four layers: coarse twigs (and sometimes bits of trash) covered in a leafy mat, then lined with grapevine bark and finally grasses, stems, rootlets, and pine needles. The nest typically takes 3 to 9 days to build; the finished product is 2-3 inches tall, 4 inches across, with an inner diameter of about 3 inches. Cardinals usually don’t use their nests more than once. Nest Placement ShrubA week or two before the female starts building, she starts to visit possible nest sites with the male following along. The pair call back and forth and hold nesting material in their bills as they assess each site. Nests tend to be wedged into a fork of small branches in a sapling, shrub, or vine tangle, 1-15 feet high and hidden in dense foliage. They use many kinds of trees and shrubs, including dogwood, honeysuckle, hawthorn, grape, redcedar, spruce, pines, hemlock, rose bushes, blackberry brambles, elms, sugar maples, and box elders. Behavior Ground ForagerNorthern Cardinals hop through low branches and forage on or near the ground. Cardinals commonly sing and preen from a high branch of a shrub. The distinctive crest can be raised and pointed when agitated or lowered and barely visible while resting. You typically see cardinals moving around in pairs during the breeding season, but in fall and winter they can form fairly large flocks of a dozen to several dozen birds. During foraging, young birds give way to adults and females tend to give way to males. Cardinals sometimes forage with other species, including Dark-eyed Juncos, White-throated Sparrows, other sparrow species, Tufted Titmice, goldfinches, and Pyrrhuloxias. They fly somewhat reluctantly on their short, round wings, taking short trips between thickets while foraging. Pairs may stay together throughout winter, but up to 20 percent of pairs split up by the next season. Conservation / Least ConcernPopulations are generally in good shape. The expansion of people and their backyards over the last two centuries has been good for cardinals. However, habitat loss in southeastern California, at the edge of the cardinal’s range, may cause the disappearance of the cardinal population there. / credits given too: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology

A male and female cardinal sit in the cherry tree, a usual habit of cardinals. They can check the area for any signs of danger, including the man with the camera. This is actually a composite of two different photos. In photoshop, I put the female on the branch in the cherry tree, she was taken from another photo.

a lovely female cardinal sits in a pine tree in my back yard. She seems to be daydreaming, possibly about the coming spring. I so love the lady cardinals in winter, they take on a most lovely coloration that is not present in the summer time. The biggest change, IMO, is the beak. During the summer, it is a muddy brown color, but come winter, she dons the bright orange lipstick. /
