This little hen cardinal flew up to a branch about 15 feet away and chirped at me as if to say 'look how pretty I am' so naturally I had to capture a couple of shots of her. Please try the downloads.
Nice shots, Jimn...looks like she is in the midst of a molt... :thumbup:

Thank you Harve and you are spot on; I've got about 20 young cardinals hanging around the homestead right now and they are all going through the various stages of molt. The should be over it in a couple more days and their plumage as you know will be bright and beautiful. Thanks for the visit, great comment and thanks for the thumbsup! :-D :-D
