Some of the prettiest birds in my area. The cardinals all have bright, vivid colors and beautiful songs. The cousin of the cardinal, the pyrrhuloxia, is equally as colorful and of course the buntings and grosbeaks look like they had paint spilled on them. Many are spring and summer visitors while the cardinals are here in my area all year.
I was surprised when this northern cardinal almost flew into the blind from which I was photographing the birds and other animals that came to this area. Cardinals are very common but the males are just so striking, I never get tired of them. Peñitas, Texas, June 2009
