Birds > Stephen  > Animals > Cardinals, buntings and allies
Some of the prettiest birds in my area. The cardinals all have bright, vivid colors and beautiful songs. Many are spring and summer visitors while the cardinals are here in my area all year.

Stephen > This is an image of one of two pyrrhuloxia that I saw on the Martin Refuge. Additionally, this is the only one that would come out of the shadows. Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > This male pyrrhuloxia just would not come out from the shadows so this is the best representative of the gender I have for this species. You can see how difficult the light was with most of the body in the shadows, but with bright sun hitting part of the chest. Still though there is some fine detail in the plumage and I like the crest. Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > Male Northern Cardinal, San Antonio, Texas, June 2007.
Stephen > Late in the day, this male northern cardinal came by to get some water at one of the watering areas at the Martin Refuge. I like the expression he has. Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
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
Stephen > While photographing hummingbirds, this northern cardinal, who is obviously molting, came in to see what was going on in the twisted willow tree that the hummingbirds have claimed as territory. Midlothian, Texas, August 2008
