For years I would see this male cardinal fly around. He was hard to miss with his bright color against the usually green backgrounds. But, I could never grab my camera in time to get any footage. Dang. I really love cardinals, too. They might be my favorite bird.
Getting a good nature shot often involves being in the right place at the right time. It was with that lucky spirit that I happened to be randomly filming a tree one morning. That close-up shot of the leaf...dramatic, right? 😂 I'm pretty sure I thought so, at the time.
So there I was filming the tree and who do you think showed up? Mr. Cardinal. Looking a little plump, too. Well "how do you do, sir?" I think he's looking at me.
He hung around for a few minutes letting me get some good video. What a cool looking bird. He even mooned me before flying off. Hehe. The clip at the end with the cardinal singing was recorded on a different date than the previous footage. I wonder if it's the same male?

Great video of Mr. Cardinal and you even caught him eating....and mooning. LOL! They have the neatest sounds and I always talk to them. They seem to enjoy that. I know what you mean about trying to get good photos. All of mine are of cardinals hiding. I am going to post them on Friday. : )
Thank you. :) I'll be looking forward to seeing your pics.
Fortuitous timing strikes again. This plump fellow is gorgeous and isn't it great how seeing one can brighten a drab winter day?
😂 Looks like Mr. Cardinal was first in line for those Moon Tokens. 😜
Oh, he knew what he was doing. ;)
