While here at Lake Whitney, Texas we have seen several of the bright red male cardinals. Now Barbara and I lived most of our lives in northern California where there are no Cardinals to be found, so when we see them elsewhere, it is a treat. I tried numerous times last week to get photos of one but every time I got my camera out it would disappear. But perseverance paid off, and finally, a couple of days ago, I was able to get some nice photos of one of these beautiful, elusive birds. Take a look!
