A female cardinal who seems to be waiting her turn at the feeders. The platform feeder which the cardinals like really gets loaded down with birdies, enjoying the tidbits. This was captured during a light snowfall.

Thank you for commenting.

Have a nice day, I'm sitting here at the pc as it's snowing outside. Winter might have arrived here in these parts. :) Some today, and more tomorrow, time will tell if they got it right.

I like the way she seems to glow Sandi - the available light seemed to highlight her perfectly. No snow here today but major storm (7-9 inches) for tomorrow.

The cardinal seems very content even with a few snowflakes. Nice color & detail. Wonderful capture Sandi.

My area is suppose to get anywheres from 2 - 6 inches of snow tomorrow. High temp today will peak at zero.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Outstanding capture, Sandi. The black tubing or cable just adds the right zing! Beautiful colors and contrast.
