This young cardinal didn't have the sense to fly away when I got fairly close to him. His parents were chirping from the bushes, and finally he took off. You will notice that he doesn't have much of a crest. He might be the baby that was nesting outside our living room window earlier this year: http://365project.org/falcon11/365/2012-05-04
He actually does look rather young, doesn't he - and he definitely does not have a clue - That red against the bare limbs shows beautifully. Another nice clear shot and a good choice for today. I needed some color.
