Description

"Red Cardinal In Winter" is an original fine art wildlife photograph by Sandra Huston.

I was very excited to be able to capture this shot of a Red Cardinal waiting in my lilac bush during a break in a ice storm yesterday. I had a 20 minute window when a dozen or more different birds came flocking in my back yard to feed at the feeders before the storm started again. Usually my resident cardinal pair in my home town of Lisbon Falls, Maine are so timid that they fly away every time I get near the window to take a photograph of them. This time they were more concerned with getting as much seeds as possible in the tiny window Mother Nature provided. So I took advantage and snapped a few quick shots. I believe this one would look especially beautiful reproduced as a throw pillow or greeting card.

Fun Facts: The northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) is a North American song bird. It is also known as the redbird or common cardinal. It can be found in southern Canada, through the eastern United States from Maine to Texas and south through Mexico. It is found in woodlands, gardens, shrub lands, and swamps. It has a distinctive crest on the head and a mask on the face which is black in the male and gray in the female. The male is a vibrant red, while the female is a dull reddish olive. From Wikipedia
