Admiring the peanuts DSC_7988
The cardinals were already visiting when I placed peanuts at the palm stump. Normally they wait for me to go on about my business before heading over to partake in a peanut treat. This guy surprised and delighted me. I watched as he started working his way toward the stump. I was only about ten feet away when he decided to come on down and get a peanut. In this image I think he looks like he is admiring the bounty before choosing just the right nut. He stayed long enough to eat two peanuts before carrying a third one to a branch in oak tree one. I felt very privileged to be allowed to point the camera in his direction and take a couple of shots while standing so close.
I hope everyone has a delightful weekend, happy snapping.
