Singing to the moon

I’ve been hearing this cardinal singing all day long, and I finally managed to catch him high up in the tree in front of our house this evening, when it was almost dark. It was nice that he picked a place with a view of the moon.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Nice moonlight illumination capturing this beautiful Cardinal in such a nice perched pose.
Your placement into the frame is very nice as is the exposure.
