Male Northern Cardinal

The last 3 photos were taken right after I had refilled the feeder hanging in this tree. He was trying to figure out how to get to those seeds since there were not any on the ground yet.

Leedra said...: Darla - Think he is, he can't figure out how to get that seed out of that feeder hanging a foot below him. Guess I should have thrown some seed on the ground.; January 23, 2009 at 9:44 AM

PERBS said...: Just returning the visit. I peeked at your other sites also. You wee wondering how you got to my bench site and I think it is because I have several and the top one happened to be my Benches blog. You probably located me because I recently did a card tutorial on my regular main blog for a friend.

You asked about the bench posted in my header. It was taken last year at Mt. Rainier in WA state. It was in front of the old visitor's center. They moved down the road and built a new more economical visitor's center so I don't know if it is still there or not.; January 23, 2009 at 10:35 PM
