Nice closeup. :-)



I snuck up on her.


Wish I could sneak up on those redbirds. sigh
It's sleeting right now, and sticking. There was a family of them out
front that I was watching from the window. With a good lens, I could
have gotten 3 males in one frame. :-(

Probably a daddy and two sons, unless cardinals travel in flocks in the
winter? I always thought they were essentially solitary or paired. There
are at least 5 or 6 of them hanging out with each other right now.

There are also at least 2, maybe 3 females in the group.
