One of my backyard cardinals. Taken last week.
The cardinal found a recently deceased green June beetle on the deck. The beetle lost an air battle with another "Junebug."

That guy has a lot of personality, which you did an excellent job of capturing! I love the first one!

He was tamer than any of the other songbirds that come to the deck, mostly to perch on the top beam.
