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!

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