A delightful way to start the day- with a handsome male cardinal and beautiful poem. Thanks, Neil!

Great photos! Not seeing in cardinals at the feeder today, mostly sparrows and Juncos. I guess they gotta eat too!

We had these scarlet beauties in Oklahoma. But I've never seen one in my backyard bird sanctuary here in Oregon. 🙁

They are a striking-looking bird for sure. Perhaps you'll get some expanding their range into your area of Oregon. It's interesting how here in Ottawa area, we've been getting a few others that were once listed as rare, then uncommon, and now practically common like Carolin Wrens. Another bird I need to get some photos and write about.
