Curious

This male Northern Cardinal, without his crest (molting apparently), popped out of the hedge to watch the squirrels gathering peanuts thrown their way by a passerby. His curiosity gave me a chance to get quite close for this shot.

@bjywamer I know, Barb! I did think of titling this "Not Christmas." :-)

He looks big and healthy!

I thought the same as Barb. First thing I thought was it was that it would make a great Christmas Card.

They are so cheerful looking. I bet he was also watching to see if the squirrels missed any of those peanuts so he could swoop in.
