Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) male

Talk about luck, there is nothing better than catching a Northern Cardinal in the very late evening sun as he reflects the light with the glow of a Christmas tree bulb! This male had been hiding in the tree, not sure of me, but then as I patiently waited he clambered out onto a high limb, clear of the branches. What a beautiful bird!
