Northern cardinal, male

One of a pair that hangs around my garden early in the morning and at dusk, which is when cardinals, active all day, are even more active.

Looks like he is fluffed up well protected from the snow

My Cardinals also come to my feeder very late in the day (almost too dark to even notice them). I'd have to turn on the yard light to capture them.

Excellent image of this Cardinal. Beautifully framed and would make a splendid seasonal greeting card, Christine. ~V

He really pops against that snow scene. A perfect winter photo of this colorful visitor that always brightens the day. V.

One of my very favorite birds. Who could not love that red brilliance!! Terrific image with the snow and the branches.

Very nice, Christine. I make sure to put out a bit more sunflower in the late afternoon especially for the pair that visit our feeder each evening. :-)

Now, that really does put the Christmas Robin to shame.
What a glorious bird, in his element here, and one which I have never seen.
A great one, Christine.
