All summer, I've been chasing the Northern Cardinal in my parent-in-law's backyard. They have many cool birds, like Baltimore Orioles and American Goldfinches, flying from tree to tree or sitting on the iron fencing and absorbing the sun.
There is also the Northern Cardinal family, but they are never still. It is just so hard to photograph them. I have a few sets of photos of them, but there is always something. Either they are too far away, behind branches, or just flying away as soon as I step forward.
Well, I was lucky that one day. One summer day (this summer), I went to the local park around the corner from Mckenzie Marsh, and lucky for me, there were cardinals flying from tree to tree. But will I get the photo I want? Well, I say again, lucky me. I was standing under one of the trees, not even thinking that anything would come my way, especially when you see a big gun like a camera. But then, as I stood there, the Northern Cardinal landed on the branch just above me, and I was able to snap five photos, only one of which was good, and here it is. Enjoy.

YAY!!! Jeff carved a cardinal and that's about how close I've gotten to one. They do tend to flit around and only stay a second or two so you can feast your eyes on their bright red feathers.
Great photo!!!

Can you imagine seeing a whole flock of them? I wonder if they do flock? What a site that would be!
