Cardinal in blizzard

This male cardinal has a firm hold on a sunflower seed on the first morning of our blizzard-the worst Iowa snowstorm in 40 years that left 10 foot snowdrifts and bitter cold-ps, the cardinal was back the day after the storm. As for me, it took 4 days to dig out and I'm still sore.

The squirrel baffle keeps the pesky creatures off the feeder-I leave seed on the ground for the squirrels . . . Gigs

Sweet shot, Gigs. He's nicely lit, and has such a great color. Glad to know you saw him again after the big storm.
