The unhappy cardinal
The cardinal was mighty suspicious of the spotted towhee that landed too close to its nest for its comfort.
The picture was taken with a DSLR from about fifteen yards away. The light was poor (only some sunset rays trickling in thru the forests) and I had to deal with the fact that the shot had to be taken thru two upright bars of the patio (you can see the white blur on either side). I dared not stand up to get a better shot lest the birds fly away…
Angry Birds – in the flesh! Great snapshot
Great job capturing the moment
Excellent capture. This year 2018 is the year of the bird because 100 years ago, the singularmost important legislation was passed to protect the birds- Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Since we are talking of birds, lets bring in the bard with the beard-
“…thy words will take wing in songs from every one of my birds’ nests, and thy melodies will break forth in flowers in all my forest groves.”
– Rabindranath Tagore
