Not Just Any Old Mr. Cardinal

This is Mr. Cardinal with the split beak. Last February I posted a photo of Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal sharing the feeder and at that time I noticed the male had a split beak. Here is a link to that original photo:

When I was taking photos of cardinals on Monday, I was surprised to notice that it was the same Mr. Cardinal with the split beak. Mrs. Cardinal was sitting on a branch waiting patiently as he was eating. I posted a photo of Mrs. Cardinal waiting patiently in my Extras album:

I'm happy to know Mr. Cardinal with the split beak is doing well and that Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal are still visiting my feeders.

He is beautiful.

[Carole Sandford]

Beautiful bird!

[Dyan Stevens]

Terrific shot of him.

Such a striking colour. Wonderful close-up.

[Harbie]

It was fun to check out your other photos! How neat that you recognized him! Great capture! Fav

[Bri]

A beautiful shot

[Loopy-Lou]

Beautiful bird, great capture

[Lou Ann]

He seems to be okay - I guess he can get enough nourishment with his beak broken. I know I would be in trouble if I didn’t fave my two front teeth!

[Suzanne]

How wonderful Mr Cardinal with the split beak is back, he's a real beauty

[gloria jones]

Super light, focus, bokeh

[Islandgirl]

Well I guess he is back...................I love the pop of red cardinals give, only wish they came this far north!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Nice shot

[Tunia McClure]

I've never known that to happen.

[Helen Jane]

Still beautiful, despite the damaged beak and if he were to have any sort of image problem, your wonderful photo should sort that out. Both Mr and Mrs are great shots Gayle.

[Michelle]

Beautiful colour and it's nice they have come back to see you!

[Connie Little]

Nice to know he is doing well. Great capture.

[Ingrid]

Happy that he is doing well. He looks happy and healthy and that is probably the reason the female is waiting ;) Wonder what caused that split beak, though.

[Babs]

A beautifully coloured bird.

[Issi Bannerman]

These are both great shots Gayle - I love the catchlights in the eyes. How cool to know that it's the same Mr Cardinal from before. Assuming he still has the same wife! ;-)

[Valerie Chesney]

So great for you to have him come back again, he seems OK...Such a lovely colour.

[Chris K]

another great shot. He must still be able to eat with that poor beak. Do you know if it will grow out.

[Dione Giorgio]

A great find and capture. Lucky for you that he returned and that you can point him out again this year.

[Lee]

What a great colour they bird are, wonderful shot.

[Merrelyn]

Beautiful capture Gayle, it's wonderful that his damaged beak doesn't seem to be interfering with his feeding :)

[Margaret Brown]

Super shot, nice to know he is doing well, it looks more like a deformity at least he’s managing. Fav

[Michelle Renee]

Glad he is doing well! Great shot!
