The return of Mrs. Cardinal

I have been on the lookout for the cardinal pair that lives around here, but today was the first time one of them landed for long enough to take a picture. Taken from quite a distance on my neighbor’s fence, and significantly cropped.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
