Female Cardinal

I don't think this female cardinal was thrilled to be sharing the feeder with these sparrows . . . I have noticed the females usually don't stay long if other birds approach a feeder.

Lovely focus on the cardinal, she looks much bigger than the sparrows.

[Stephanie Swift]

Hope she at least stayed long enough to have a good snack! Love the focus, light and colour in this.

@merrelyn Thank you for your comment, Merrelyn! Yes, these sparrows are quite a bit smaller than the cardinals. Sometimes there will be about ten of them on one of these tray feeders. :-)

Beautiful capture!

Really nice focus on Mrs. Cardinal - love the texture of her feathers.

[Helen Jane]

it is an awesome beak. This photo makes me realise that the cardinal must be quite a lot larger than I had thought. You have given them all such a colourful array of tasty treats.

@helenhall Thanks for your comment, Helen! The cardinals are quite a bit larger than these sparrows. The sparrows definitely outnumber them though.
