In the bag...
I was out on Dutch Creek Road Saturday and saw that some kind soul was feeding gourmet bird food to his/her feathered friends. There were 8 or 9 male cardinals in the area. I stopped my Jeep and took numerous shots from the window. This is not the best of my shots, but I had to save those for actual paying gigs, but you get the idea. So I finally bagged the elusive cardinal in the snow shot.
For the record...the snow is all gone and I will soon ditch this joint and take Harley for a long winter walk through the mountains.
He's lovely,and as for saving the better shots for the paying gig? Well, I'd pay good cash money for this lovely photo. Worth the wait, fer sure!
Enjoy the walk with Harley.

The picture is beautiful- I can't imagine a finer one. He looks so handsome with that little snow flake showing on his nose/beak.
