Oh Harry she is so pretty. We have Cardinals here but I have not seen any females that look like her. Nice capture!

Goodness, as Peter says- blown out of her way! You wouldn't know what to do - other than photograph it!

Great capture! I wonder of she lives on board... 70 miles is a long way out to sea!

Under those circumstances this is a great shot

So she managed to get a last minute ticket, Harry! And for free, too. Lovely shot.

Reminds me kind of a joke let me see if I remember it.... a woman says to her husband: " I wish I was a bird "..why is that he asks? "because birds can fly south in the winter and we can't fly south because we don't have the means" it went something like that..only I think I forgot the punchline..well you get my drift.. a female cardinal is one of the birds I would never expect to see at sea. great opportunity Harry.
