255 Red
This lovely cardinal likes to sing for the ladies, very loudly and often very early in the day. We usually have a pair all season long who hang out. The female has been known to remind me to fill the feeder.

Looks like one wild bird.

Great shot. I love the sounds of the cardinals. I 've learned there call and sometimes will answer them and then we have a three way conversation.:) But they do answer back. Had to get rid of my bird feeders as we had about ten hawks watching for some easy prey. I finally put some food in them 3 weeks ago, no hawks but very few birds and no cardinals. YET. It will take them a while to find the seeds.

Very nice bird photo! Great capture of him serenading you, and everyone in hearing distance. Don't they have the most wonderful, bell-clear voices?

Great shot, cardinals are hard to capture. I love the red against the blue.
