Beautiful… I watch my birds everyday, and I have noticed that the Cardinal is the most mannerly of all birds. They will let others eat before they do. They are wonderful birds. ~nita~
gorgeous shot!! You’ll probably never believe me but honestly I’ve never seen a red cardinal outside of an aviary. I hope one day to see one sitting pretty on a branch like you have him here. Simply gorgeous…. even a red beak… how about that?

Welcome to the mon@rch nature blog and I hope you join us in some of our nature adventures through the Allegany State Park area!
I am a naturalist, field biologist and nature photographer from the Western New York area. I have started exploring nature writing through this blog and it truly has been fun sharing my numerous adventures with everyone. Thanks to the many other authors that help me with my post and they will be sharing some of their nature explorations.
I have always had a latent interest in birds and photography and have been lucky enough to find time to explore these interests over the last few years. I am very thankful to the Cattaraugus County Bird Club for getting me started, sharing their wealth of knowledge and for their wonderful programs. And many thanks to Tom for letting me share some of my adventures and photos on the Monarch Nature Blog.
Thank you for taking the time visiting and commenting on this blog.

This is a lovely picture. Your other one was more interesting, in a way, but this one made me smile =) Peace and power in the bird world, I guess…

The cardinal is one of my favorite birds — and this is a great photo of him.
