Rainy Day Cardinal

It rained all day and I had a migraine . . . not the best conditions for taking photos. I did manage to get several shots of this male cardinal at the feeder in the rain . . . the only bird I saw at the feeder all day.

A great capture! I like the simplicity of the feeder as base and the background that conveys the weather situation.

I love the cardinals. We see many of them here too. And I can see the raindrops - same here: rainy day... Hope the weather and you migraine are getting better soon.

Wonderful capture, bet the cardinals love those sunflower seeds ... the squirrels here would certainly like it if I put sunflower seeds out like that!

He's a handsome lad, even if he is a bit wet. Sorry about your headache - those are dreadful things.

My uncle in St Louis used to coax the cardinals to the feeders in just this fashion. He really had a way with them, as clearly yo do, too! They're so beautiful!

[Lou Ann]

You know his right wing looks like it may be broken? Maybe it's just stretching for a minute. They are beautiful birds!
