A beautiful photo of a beautiful bird. A new bird for me, thank you. I looked it up in three good field guides and yours is a superior specimen photo. Nice work!

Both shots are beautiful in color, detail and composition. I just googled them and it was quite interesting. I really like their coloring.

Great shots...shame about the name though!!
The scientific name is very strange but this bird is the SE California version of the Cardinal. It should be called the Southern Cardinal to distinguish it from its better known relative the Northern Cardinal.
