Taken in the garden next door this afternoon. At times this cardinal and another one were a few feet from me, but as always, I had problems capturing them with the Sony, although I got two pictures that I thought were OK. They seemed to really like being on this side of the street and hung around for several minutes, moving from place to place. Maybe they just wanted to get to the bird feeder, but I was in the way.
