As my wildlife and nature image libraries continue to grow, there are certain birds that are more illusive than others. One such bird is the Northern Cardinal.

This fellow landed near me and while I would like to take credit for “stalking” him, the truth is these images were more luck than skill. Still, I believe I can do better with some more progress. While snow still covers the ground in the Northeast, seeing Cardinals fly around the yard makes me feel like spring is not that far away.
