Birds > Stephen  > Animals > Cardinals, Pyrrhuloxias, Buntings, Grosbeaks, Dickcissels and Tanagers
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.

Stephen > I caught this pretty female cardinal at the Spring Creek Preserve in and amongst a large thicket of bushes and different small trees. Garland, Texas, December 2009
Stephen > This male cardinal seems to have lost a few tail feathers either from a fight with another cardinal or a close call with a cat. Midlothian, Texas, April 2009
Stephen > I seem to be receiving the "look" from this female cardinal. I suppose she wanted to forage for seeds in peace. Midlothian, Texas, April 2009.
Stephen > This is an early morning image of a northern cardinal foraging near a feeding station at Los Madrones Ranch near Dripping Springs, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > I got lucky with this photo. I had been chasing various birds including the male cardinal, but it just would not let me get close, but I did find this less skittish female cardinal. I had to photograph through some branches but I think the image turned out relatively well. Midlothian, Texas, March 2008.
Stephen > While out birding in my town, I found this cardinal high in a tree. I believe it is a juvenile but I could be wrong. I could not acheive a clear shot, but the light was nice and I like the color of the cardinal so I tried to get the cleanest image possible. Midlothian, Texas, March 2008.
Stephen > This is one of the northern cardinals that was hanging around the feeding station near the Visitor's Center at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. This area is heavily shaded by native bushes and trees, but I did catch this cardinal in some dappled light. Near Rio Hondo, Texas, June 2008
