Mamma Cardinal

Isn't she the sweetest bird ever? Patience paid off and at last I got her sitting on the fence with no branches across her wee face. Just need to get a shot of her together with her handsome red husband now.

[Sue Hecker]

So cute with her head cocked to the side!

[Chippy Minton]

Got to love the quirky look she's giving you

[Daryl O'Hare]

I have gotten some dual shots, but they are hard to get both in focus. The female cardinal is so lovely with her muted tones. And I love the expression here. Those branches are such a pain! Nice job!

[Lee]

Beautiful shot, she definitely looks interested in you.

[Simply Amanda]

Oh fun how she cocked her head for the camera. Great one, Issi!!

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

The cutest little bird ever, looks like she is willing you to feed her. Like your Scottish accent making an appearance :-)

[Jo]

Oh yes, this is lovely, and the little tilt of the head is just perfect, great shot.

[Issi Bannerman]

@featherstone @ch1ppy_m1nton @gamelee @amandal @jo13 I just loved her little tilt of the head too! Thanks folks. @darylo I'm sure you're right Daryl, I can imagine they will be hard to capture together, but hey, you never know. I am happy that I've been able to capture each of them now, albeit separately! @lucypics That wee accent is never very far away Lucy! ;-)

[Gail]

Oh SWEET! I love the cocked head... you can almost read the thoughts! Great shot, Issi.

[Joy Maguire]

love the tilted head like asking What cha doing

[Issi Bannerman]

@gailmmeek @almondjoy1 Thank you ladies!

[Sarah Munnings]

Love her punky hairdo or is it a feather do LOL! I'm sure you will get her hubby soon!

[Issi Bannerman]

@pixiemac Got him, Sarah, got him!!!! Will post tomorrow! :-)

[Sarah Munnings]

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Beautiful capture

[Paula W]

Oh sweet shot, good luck getting a shot with her hubby, I'm sure that won't be easy.

[Allison]

[Sheila G]

This is such a sweet shot - that tilt of the head just added the topping. Nicely done.

Looks like she's listening. Such a great capture, your patience paid off.

This is a sweet picture. I've never seen a female Cardinal.

[Peggy Scroggins]

Love the way her head is cocked to the side. Great shot.

[Issi Bannerman]

[Stephanie Swift]

Fav, she is so sweet with her head cocked like that. Perhaps, in due course, you'll be posting pictures of baby cardinals!

[Issi Bannerman]

@axika @killeen Thanks folks. @tristansmum Nothing I'd like better Stephanie ... can't imagine how cute they would be!
