Looking pretty pleased with himself

I haven’t seen or heard the neighborhood cardinal around too much lately; maybe he’s preparing for fatherhood.

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

A very proud pose the Mister Cardinal must have just had a great snack and is happy. You may be right about fatherhood bird are already busy building there nests. Nice bokeh and very nice resolution. Vote
