Red-crested Cardinal

Brazil

www.texastargetbirds.com

A bird that generated quite a bit of special interest with at least one member of our group during our visit to the Pantanal was the Red-crested Cardinal. Early in our visit I had a piece of dumb luck and this beauty flew up and landed right in front of me offering a fantastic chance to get some shots. I felt a little guilty since I wasn’t the one who was really itching for this species but thankfully everyone eventually did manage satisfying shots though it took them a few more days. It sure is nice to have some luck once in a while!

Neat bird, but, I like our Northern Cardinal better!
