I first saw him as a bright red spot out in the backyard tree. I grabbed the camera and the zoom bright him into view. It is the first cardinal for a very long time to be in our backyard. He never did make it to my feeders on the deck but was on the ground below feeding on fallen seeds from above.
On the ground I couldn’t get great shots but here he is with the garden storage shed blocking a part of the view. I am putting out the best seed for the cardinals and blue jays but they have not been around except for this one. The majority of visitors are juncos.
There are a few around on and off during the day. The juncos started migrating in the past few weeks. I am glad they are out there darting around looking for seed.
The snow isn’t keeping us in today but it is the cold. We were around 11 degrees F. this morning. It will warm up a bit and we could get out later. Neither one of us seems to be motivated to leave the warmth of the house. Barney keeps me going outside with him but I have to bundle up to do so. We are getting a fluffy snow right now but it won’t be measurable. It was so strange for us to go for a long time without snow considering we did have a good snow back in early November.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a great day out there where ever you are.

Always joyful to watch the birds in the yard and you do a great job photographing them. Our rain finally stopped and our temps are mild today but they are predicting the rain for the next four days. GA might set an all time record for the most rainfall this year.
Nice photos, love the Cardinals
