One Of Those Days
Ever have one of those days? From the looks of it, this male Northern Cardinal is having one.
Perhaps he's recovering from his summer molt? Could he have just finished a quick dip in a birdbath? Maybe he just puffed up while taking a deep breath and I caught him in the middle? Or possibly his feathers are ruffled because he hasn't had his morning safflower seed and there was no room at the feeder?
