Stephen > I was surprised when this northern cardinal almost flew into the blind from which I was photographing the birds and other animals that came to this area.  Cardinals are very common but the males are just so striking, I never get tired of them.  Peñitas, Texas, June 2009

Stephen > This male cardinal seems to have lost a few tail feathers either from a fight with another cardinal or a close call with a cat.  Midlothian, Texas, April 2009
Stephen > I seem to be receiving the "look" from this female cardinal.  I suppose she wanted to forage for seeds in peace.  Midlothian, Texas, April 2009.
Stephen > This is but one of the dozens of cardinals that I saw while visiting the Fennessey Ranch on the Central Texas Coast.  Near Refugio, Texas, December 2008
Stephen > Late in the day, this male northern cardinal came by to get some water at one of the watering areas at the Martin Refuge.  I like the expression he has.  Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > While photographing hummingbirds, this northern cardinal, who is obviously molting, came in to see what was going on in the twisted willow tree that the hummingbirds have claimed as territory.  Midlothian, Texas, August 2008
Stephen > This is one of the northern cardinals that was hanging around the feeding station near the Visitor's Center at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge.
