These guys never seem to stop moving but this one didn't mind a camera coming to within a couple feet! A little fluffed up, almost like he's chilly. He's on a post so handheld at waist level. Taken on Oahu, Hawaii.

I've never seen that bird so I looked it up... it is a Brazilian Red Cap Cardinal. Where did you find it?

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

This is amazingly good, and I'm sure that 60 is only a preliminary vote. I know what I'm going to give it if I get it in the voting booth..Just an excellent photo :)

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God's Son will not be lost but will have life that lasts forever.

I love this pix. After I saw fore, I decided to look in your gallery. I'm a St. Louis Cardinal fan (bigtime) and I've never seen this species. Thanks for posting.

They are so beautiful and we called them Tuxedo Caridnals because it looks like a black tux on him
