Warrenton, Virginia

This time-of-year the males are in glorious breeding colors. We have lots of breeding cardinals and I like to show them off.
See 'previous' image for an example of a female cardinal in breeding plumage.
Best viewed in 'original' size.

Another great photo of these handsome birds - you're right to show them off.

I would 'show them off' too if we had them. Nice bird and photo.
