My favorite cardinal, again

I haven’t seen him recently in our next-door neighbor’s tree, but even if he were there, it would be hard to photograph him through all the leaves now.

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

The miracle peony, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/400s f/8.0 at 300.0mm iso125 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I think he is calling over to Sahraa... to conspire to do something about your camera. ;)
