In the Summer, male Cardinals are a solid brilliant red, and only slightly less red in the Winter.

If you live in the eastern half of the United States or southeastern Canada, you can attract Cardinals to your yard by offering sunflower seeds.
Have a wonderful day!

My late husband and I have a cemetery plan and it sure was handy when he passed

My husband and I love to bird watch - even from our upper deck! He feeds the bluejays peanuts every morning. He rings the bell and they know he is putting out the nuts! The cardinals are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have a Mr. and Mrs. that are at my feeders each day. Love seeing them.
ReplyDeleteThey are sweet, aren't they? That is one of several bird species that sticks around my garden year-round. They're so pretty surrounded by snow, too.
ReplyDelete...now all you need is a touch of snow to set them off.
ReplyDeleteNice captures!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to see a cardinal in person. If only cardinals lived in California.
ReplyDeleteYes, we have cardinals in Virginia. I enjoyed your post.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cardinal photos! ^_^

What fabulous bits of color! Your photos are just wonderful. Thanks for linking up to My Corner of the World!
ReplyDeleteA distinctive looking one!
ReplyDeletecute birds! I see plenty of the red ones around here, because they're easy to spot - will have to keep my eye out for the less-familiar plumage of the female.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
