Nice shot Dave. You’re right, the Cardinals always brighten up a winter day.
Our “common” birds had to dive for cover this morning when a Sharp-shinned hawk
swooped in and dived into the bottom of an azalea bush filled with birds. The
birds exploded from the top and got away. Lynda and I watched as a few moments
later the hawk walked out, looked around and flew off into the woods. This is
probably the same hawk whose wingtip prints I found in the snow the other
morning on either side of a patch of bird feathers. It had obviously taken what
looked like a Titmouse to the ground, picked off most of the feathers, then had
flown away. (no photo this time).

I'm often guilty of taking our common birds for granted but, they certainly
brighten a February morning!
