CARDINALS

Winter is an excellent time to observe and photograph cardinals. Their coloring stands in beautiful contrast to the often drab background of skeletal trees and snow. The male cardinal glows in hues of scarlet and pink, while the female shows off her ruddy browns and blazing orange. They seem to frighten easily, so I had to photograph them through the window. Not the best image quality, but I still like the way they turned out.

  1. Nice photos. I take loads of bird photos through double glazing. I can't get really sharp shots but they're good enough and the only way I can get close!
