Description
Another visitor to the bird feeder, this one a male Northern Cardinal. The males are quite aggressive to the smaller birds, often chasing them away to feed by itself. The big bullys!
The brilliantly colored Northern Cardinal has the record for popularity as a state bird: in the United States, it holds that title in seven states. This common bird is a winter fixture at snow-covered bird feeders throughout the Northeast, but it only spread to New York and New England in the mid-20th century. They are quite common here in Hawaii.
Aloha to all and have a splendid week!

Lovely close up. Excellent DOF. Cardinals are my favourite birds. They are so colourful though they are a tad aggressive. This is a nice shot.

A beautiful fellow. We have them here and they feed on cedar berries in the fall. This branch must be a common perching spot for all your bird visitors.
