Miss cardinal from yesterday! She's so nice, she let me open the door without leaving

The second picture made me laugh even if the lighting is a bit wrong. "Are you looking at me "

Winter is back, at least for a few more hours in #Toronto #Ontario.

This cardinal had some popping colours in the grey and stormy conditions.

The winds are brutal today and were blowing poor Mrs. Cardinal all over the place.

Mrs. Cardinal is proud (and a little cynical) regardless of the weather.

Mrs. Cardinal is ready for some warmth, but keeps waking up to freezing temperatures. It does not make her happy!

Mrs. Cardy dropped by to visit us this week. #birding #bird #birds #birdwatching #birdwatchers #birdwatcher #nature #naturelover #naturelovers #cardinal #cardinals #avian #avians #plumage #outdoors #dogwood #dogwoodtree #Pennsylvania

Kinda forgot I took this photo awhile back. Didn't think it would be any good...

Apparently, when it rains, a cardinal's eyebrows goes from "skeptical" to "dramatically judgmental"!
