Photo of the Week - Cardinal on Plum Branch

"Cardinal on Plum Branch"

This photograph is from my "Songbird" Collection.  ********** Named after the magnificent clothing of the Roman Catholic cardinals, the northern cardinal is a species that often needs no introduction to even the most novice bird watcher.   Although both the female and male cardinal are amazing in beauty, the bright red plumage along with the crest and mask, make the male a striking figure indeed. It could be argued that this bird is the most loved bird in America.   In fact, the northern cardinal is the state bird of seven different states in the USA. It should also be noted that I find the cardinal to be a very mild mannered bird (except during mating season) and so projects a bird that will win hearts across the world and already has done just that.   Canvas Prints From $65 Metal Prints From $64 Deluxe Prints From $23 GET 20% OFF ALL PRINTS OF THIS IMAGE. 3 DAYS ONLY.
