Cardinal

Around 7:30 pm this cardinal and a female came to my bird feeder. He kept flitting around so I was able to capture different poses. Here's one of the photos I really liked from his shoot. I might share another one for Wild Bird Wednesday so don't forget to come back and see what other poses mr. cardinal shared...

Besides a male and female cardinal being at my bird feeder last night there was a mockingbird, red winged blackbird, mourning dove and two different sparrows. Yesterday morning I woke to find four goldfinches and three mourning doves at the back feeder. I think the mourning doves are a mother and her two babies.

Female Cardinal

Last Monday I came across a picture in our local paper of a female cardinal. I'd found it while waiting for my daughter to finish at the doctor's office.  I'd been working on my first poem- the first in a long while- so I already had a pen and paper in my hand.  Inspired I began to draw the cardinal. I had barely closed the outline when my daughter emerged from the office.

Today my computer had issues so I picked up the pen and paper to add finishing touches to my cardinal. Pleased as I am with the outcome I think the cardinal needs more feather detail and plastic surgery on its beak. I guess that's to be expected from someone who has no art training in their background.
