    Terrific bird shots. Thanks to technology, I was able to explore a bit of Huntley Meadows via a short online video. What a lovely place to wander. It is good to see such environmental treasures available for us to visit.

    I don't think I ever came across a cardinal. What a lovely bid.

      It was a very bright day that day. Mrs. Cardinal is a beauty isn't she? Not as flash as the bright Red Cardinal but really lovely in her more muted colors. Thank you Sandra :)

      We like our camera with the zoom lens. Makes getting closer more possible than our old one.

    Hi Denise,
    Always fond of the Cardinals, both Male and female, and the Red-winged Blackbird is such a beauty, wonderful images, Huntley Meadows appears to be a good birding area.
    All the best,
    John

      It is a wonderful birding area John and I see many people with binoculars looking up at the trees. All the best to you too :)

    I have always liked seeing the female cardinal, even though the male usually gets most of the attention solely due to coloration.
