this time of year, the northern cardinals seem to increase the intensity of their hue, as if in competition with the trees to see who can draw the most attention with their splendid display of color.
make sure you get my good side…
i love the tchip-tchip of the females hidden in neighboring trees, no doubt voicing their admiration of the males showing off for them.
…and don't forget my other good side…
the votes are in: cardinals—10; trees—9. cardinals take this round…

Oh my, you have been having fun with that camera. These photos are so full of pizzazz, Doug. Love 'em! I think the female Cardinal is so elegant. Cardinals are particularly stunning in the middle of winter.
Thanks for rattling my cage today and leaving such a thoughtful comment.
i'm hoping to catch a cardinal in the snow this winter. but first it has to snow...
and re my comment: reading your blog helps restore my faith in humankind, so anytime i can return the favor, i will.
