Rare sighting

I was very excited to get a glimpse of the rare "Great Horned Cardinal" today. They usually stay hidden away in the deepest parts of the forest.

This one must have been looking for a mate. That's the only time they venture out into the open.


Disclaimer It was very windy today!!! :0)
