This cardinal was a lot of fun. I saw her as we hiked torward the River J. Shook Bikeway Bridge. She was setting on the wood rails. As I lifted the camera to photograph her .. well, you know what happens. She flew away.
It looked like she just flew into the grass, so I walked over to the side of the trail to take a look. Nothing. I didn’t want to give up, so I waked to the large dropoff where the bridge begins. Looking down I saw nothing,
Suddenly saw her in a nearby tree. This time she waited long enough for me to capture a few photos. The female cardinal is not nearly as bright as the male, but they are beautiful.
