STOPS ALONG THE WAY

LOOKING SMART (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)

I love these conspicuous birds. Cardinals are hard to miss and now that the trees are bare and there’s little snow cover to brighten things up, they add some colour to a flat, dull landscape. They are one of the few birds that don’t migrate so I hope to see more of them as winter progresses. A nice reward for tramping through the woods at -10 Celsius!

    Beautiful photos! I love cardinals! Mine are always a little camera shy. I love that you were able to capture them 🙂

    I really love the two shots. He is almost animated as I glance from one to the other.

    Especially pretty seen on a snowy day, they really brighten our winter days. Great shots, Belinda!

    Lovely cardinal. Seeing them in a snowy landscape is one of the rewards of winter trail walking.

    Lovely shots–Cardinals are one of my favorites and they often oblige with perky head poses.

    Lovely shots. Wish we had cardinals around here — they are like bright jewels against a winter landscape.

    Very handsome looking birds they are. We do not have any all-red birds here.
