I was pretty excited that I got pictures of both. The pics of the = male are nice and bright - he is a beautiful red; the female was on a = branch and the view obstructed by several other branches and when she = did move, unfortunately she was on the snowy ground in a shadow so the = picture of her isn't quite as crisp and clear. They were only here about = 5 minutes. It was good of the male to perch near the top of the tree, = with bright blue sky behind him so I could get a few good pictures. I am = just thrilled to have seen them and to have some pictures to prove it! I thought I had posted about it before I went to the city but it looks = like I didn't. About 5 years ago, there was a lone female in the = backyard but that is it for cardinal sightings for me Wonder if Angela and I saw the same one. Seeing them certainly made my = day. Every year I seem to have fewer and fewer birds. Although just = before the cardinals came I had about 20 small birds (goldfinches, 8 = chickadees, a few juncos) appear all at about the same time. Most = mornings I see 2 to 4 Chickadees and only one or two goldfinches over = the course of the entire morning. I am in the subdivision that wraps around Haliburton House, on Lakeview = Drive, which overlooks the Avon River. I will certainly be watching the next few days! Joyce P.S. If anyone would like me to email the pics - I'd be happy to ------=_NextPart_000_0017_01CBC707.9328E360 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 8.00.6001.18999"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>Hi:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2 face=3DArial>At about 0900 I had a male cardinal in = my Japanese=20 maple and while I scurried to the other room to get my camera, a female = had=20 appeared as well.
