Description
This photo was capture in a snow fall. This photo also won 2nd place in the Snapfish Summer Red photo contestCaptured this Northern Male Cardinal bird in my butterfly bush in my back yard. What a amazing red color.
The male Northern Cardinal is perhaps responsible for getting more people to open up a field guide than any other bird. Theyre a perfect combination of familiarity, conspicuousness, and style: a shade of red you cant take your eyes off. Even the brown females sport a sharp crest and warm red accents. Cardinals dont migrate and they dont molt into a dull plumage, so theyre still breathtaking in winters snowy backyards. In summer, their sweet whistles are one of the first sounds of the morning.

Beautiful capture of this beautiful red bird. Cardinal shots in the white winter snow falls really accentuate the bird's beauty, as this shot clearly demonstrates. vf
