Saturday Critters ~ 161 ~

- Seeing Red -

Any bird watcher knows that when it snows - your bird population quadruples. 
That was true here at my house during our latest snow and the Cardinals were no exception.





The usually shy, difficult to photograph men, were standouts in the snow!

Beautiful! Cardinals are my favorite bird, after all I live in a Cardinal state! I love that they travel in pairs, like us old married folk! Lol thank you for sharing your pics, I always look forward to them!

Fabulous Debbie, wish we had birds like that in our back yard/garden
We do have birds of course but not so colourful!

All the best Jan
