I agree with all above. I just love cardinals, and sometime if we get really lucky one will nest around. I can always tell when they're here because of their most melodious song...almost as good as the mockingbirds down in Phoenix :)

WOW! we do not have yellow ones here in Illinois.........looks like it could be a male almost omn the way to developing full red............I like the angle, the richness of saturation and the contrast of warm browns vs. coluration of bird.excellent

That's a female cardinal? I didn't think they had that much color. Beautiful bird. Love the "hat" she is wearing. Quite a lady.
