The Cardinal Rule

As I was looking at the owls, I heard a distinctive sound, so I decided to look for it.  After some searching, I found the cardinal.

 He seemed to be hiding in this shot.

 After I moved around , I found a spot where i could get some decent pictures of him.

 I think he was kind of posing for me.  This are proud looking birds but after observing them for a bit, they are jerks.

 He looked around.

 I do like the looks of them.

 But they are hard to get pictures of.

 So it was kind of nice that this one stuck around for me.

 Another profile shot.

 A forward look.

He was moving a little bit.
