Northern Cardinal (Male) Austin Texas.
I was walking up the trail and saw a tree with what looked like red and yellow ornaments on it.. When I got closer I realized they weren't ornaments they were birds.. I don't think I've ever seen Cardinals this fat before, then it dawned on me that it's 28 degrees out.. Ruffled feathers to keep the warm in and keep out the cold. Neat trick.... Theses birds looked so fat until I saw them fly..
