Taking Their Final Bow

Sadly the sunflower fields at McKee-Beshers Wildlife Management Area are fading fast. Two weeks ago it was all about photographing the beautiful blooming flowers now it's all about trying to photograph the visiting birds.

I like the bird shots equally to the blooming sunflower field!

The cardinal makes a beautiful pop of color against the fastly fading sunflowers! Mine are pretty much gone too!

Oh, this would be the place to go alright! Great to show the actual size of this wee red bird!

The cardinal does seem happy with his location in the field of sunflowers.
