Description
I love how this Northern Cardinal is holding his wings up while taking a drink from the pond. Doesn't he look beautiful?! He flew in quickly and flew out again in no time. Part of the background has been blurred in this image, since it was so busy with a lot of grass.
A perennial favorite among people, the Northern Cardinal is the state bird of seven states. The distinctive crest can be raised and pointed when agitated or lowered and barely visible while resting. You typically see cardinals moving around in pairs during the breeding season, but in fall and winter they can form fairly large flocks of a dozen to several dozen birds.
Photo taken in Southern Texas on March 3, 2021.
