Beautiful Cardinals

Beautiful Cardinals


                      Many different types of birds are gracing my yard these days.  I saw several at my window today.   Here are some pictures of my cardinals.



I took this one today, 1/6/21
Females aren't as red as male cardinals, but they are still just as beautiful.
Take a picture of one and study them individually.  You will be surprised how unique each individual one is.





This was taken in Jan, '21
Males are lovely to photograph of course because of their red color.  Did you know that what they eat 
actually effects their color?  The redder the better, too.



Peek a boo, I see you. This bright red stands out with snow in the background.
The white snow just makes that red pop out.

This female is caught with birdseed in her mouth.  I grew bird seed in 2020.  I think I will always have homegrown bird seed.  I have it around the smoke tree that this bird is on.  It is controlled, but I love my bird seed garden.  I cut the tops off and lay them on my windowsill as well.  I wake up to bright red cardinals on my sill most mornings.  Amazing.

Frosty or Olaf?

Image
Frosty or Olaf? Was it Frosty or Olaf?  I'm trying to decide which one I made. I'm an adult, but I still enjoy building snowman.  I don't get to very often in this  part of the country.  Let me know in the comments if you think this was Frosty or Olaf. We live in town, but I don't have to go very far to get a bit of a woodsy photo.  We have an open field across the street.  Sometimes I have seen deer coming from there.  I saw two outside my window one evening not too long before Christmas 2020.  So unusual to see them. I would love to photograph them someday if I can see them in the day time.  This field also contains many other wild life.  It includes cardinals, bluejays, robins, and other birds as well as many squirrels.     Our lights were still up.  I got to get a picture of the lights on snow.  It was a week after Christmas, but we got our White Christmas a week later with this photo.  It was really a W...

A Day for the Robins

Image
All of these birds are different birds of the same kind (obviously, right?) Anyway, can you tell a difference in each robins' face? This one is actually very calming to me.  The robin is centered with a bunch of branches here.  Since I've mostly been at home and now take my pictures at home, it's nice  to see a sort of woodsy image, don't you think? This one is regal and bold looking.  It looks as if it's marking it's territory.  "I'm the owner of this tree.  It seems to call out.  "Look at me.  I'm the best."
