Red Bird........


Blizzard conditions for us means a very light snow with very strong winds.  I was able to clear the gray of the snow that was keeping this picture from being focused well but the bird gets a little distorted from the treatment.


I needed photos to share and it isn't so great to go out into a blizzard to take shots.  Everything that I can take has to be through the windows.  I had been seeing a female cardinal at the feeder the past few days but no male cardinal.  I was skeptical to think I would find anything too great out at the feeder.  I never saw the cardinal at the feeder but he was feeding off of something from the spirea bush.  I  zoomed in the best that I could with my wife's camera and the snow storm gave me some gray photos.
