Cardinals rarely look placid particularly when their heads are on a tilt fixing you with a stare. This and their colouring make them great subjects. We see them in our woods all year round. On a cold snowy day seeing this red flash in the trees is always a bright spot.

Very beautiful, the color of the cardinal so well contrasting with the greyish background, it lets the bird shine.

The bunting is extremely rare here, fortunately cardinals are not. Happy New Year to you.
