Return of the cardinal

This cardinal flew into my neighbor’s yard as I was standing on our stoop watching the sparrows jockeying for position at the bird feeder. He didn’t hang around for long, but I managed to get a few shots of him.

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

Unusual colors, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/320s f/4.5 at 300.0mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
