A male cardinal sitting in the lilac bush.

I appreciate the comments, and want to let you know that I'm taking an overnight road trip to southern Indiana, to see Marty Stuart perform, but will have the laptop, with me. I'll be leaving friday morning, and will back saturday.

Have a nice day, and thank you for commenting.

I forgot my whohoooooo! so there it is. Lol!

He literally shines with his bright red colour against that background Sandi.

He does seem to glow. And that pose is really interesting.

A very interesting pose on him and I love that his beak is covered with what I assume is seed residue - great catch Sandi. Your lilac bush is a thing of beauty in winter as well!

Where's your Wahoo you normally use when heading out to see Marty?
Instant fave for me Tigz? Spring training will be opening soon.
Looks like he is growing a goatee. A bird with a goatee---this has been a strange winter.

Beautiful snap, Tigs. The lighting here is super and is that a bit of snow on his beak? Well done! Have fun on your trip.

That is really gorgeous, Sandi. Excellent positioning of the Cardinal, and the background is beautiful.

I've enjoyed all your recent bird uploads Tigz, and this male Cardinal certainly stands out. We don't have anything to compare it to in the UK, very well done. (o:

How perfect...it almost seems as if he were superimposed. I love the white in the back ground. looks like a bright light toward which the cardinal is facing.

Sandi - It looks like he stuck his beak in the snow before flitting to the lilac branch. The blurred winter-color background is perfect for the brilliant red of this male cardinal. It appears that the lighting is reflected off the snow - very effective. Thad

I always love the bright red cardinals in the drab of winter! What a sharp capture, with the bits of snow (or food maybe?) on his beak!
