This cardinal was moulting and still had a few feathers out of place. A handsome bird though and he stood his ground, curious and hoping I had some seeds for him. We have seen a cardinal on this stretch of path before and I believe this was the same bird because of its boldness. Unlike many cardinals that fly away as you approach them, this one was a great poser and after taking my fill of photographs I walked away before he flew off.
