Northern Cardinal (Juvenile)

Markham, Virginia

G. R. Thompson State WMA - Hiked more than a mile under massive poplar trees with lots of understory growth. Was trying to get a couple of shots of Cerulean Warblers.
I did see a pair, but could not get a lens on either of them. This 'nube' cardinal kept peeking at me - guess I might have been the 1st 'people' she'd ever seen.

That's cautious curiosity if ever there was. You've done well to focus among the foliage.

It’s playing peek-a-boo with you. Well done to catch it.
