Wonder what kind of bug it has?

Not my favorite composition; I prefer branches, berries, etc. but at least the green provides a nice contrast to this males red.

He does look striking against the green grass!

interesting to see one on the ground instead of in a tree :) great shot

I agree -- nice against the green grass. My backyard buddy, a cardinal that I have named Prince, came begging at my dining room window many times in the rain today. I put a few peanuts on the window ledge for him.

Be kind the cardinal day! You get bonus points, Allison! Thanks ALL for your comments.
