LOOK AT THAT MOHAWK! LoL! =)
Cute shots! Could that be a juvenile?
great pics!
Fantastic shots, Pat, and isn’t she a beauty?
Love the ruffled feathers! Wonderful photos, Pat!
your bird photos simply are the best!!!
I thought it was some kind of alien bird at first, great shots!
WOW! I know ‘jealousy’ is considered one of the deadly sins, but I have learned to just accept the fact that you are so lucky to have these critters near by! I am SO JEALOUS!!
A Cardinal, right?
so seewt!!
fantastic shots…
What an incredible series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Awesome shots!
I wish you a great evening!
Great series of photos – although it still looks as if it has a few feathers to smooth down!
wonderful! I am visiting my mom and she LOVES birds – I gave her a tour of all your beautiful bird and squirrel and nature photos – she was really impressed and really enjoyed them!
Great series, I love the last shot.
Wonderful, don’t ya love it when they are prettying (sp?) themselves up. FYI, I used to live in Cincinnati, and then in Ft. Thomas, KY….I am sorry you were without AC for awhile…tough weather.
I cannot blame such a beautiful bird for wanting to preen.

Wow, these are fantastic! I love the female cardinal. Mine have been doing a lot of preening also. The male is never far away. It’s so sweet. Enjoy your 4th!!
Looks like a young one there — so cute Pat.

How cute, all fluffed up.
Cool pictures! Fortunately they don’t mind being photographed in their morning toilet.
A little sweetheart, and a great series, Pat.
Happy day to you.
I hope it has cooled off some.
Beautiful shots and beautiful colors! I like seeing it all fluffed up like the last photo! Adorable!
