  2. Great bird and its clear why it is called cardinal. Wonder if there are more clerical bird names.

    1. At least in Germany we have a "Dompfaff" - the bullfinch. The German name references the red cap of the bird. In my youth this was a quite common bird, but it has become rare.

    2. I always thought it was named after the Cardinals of the Pope, who wear red clothes.

  5. Nice photo! Somehow "Candle in the Wind" by Elton John was my first thought when I saw this post.

  6. Love that image, Jeff. The bird looks quite ruffled, most like the two-legged cardinals in Germany at the moment, because of the ongoing scandals

  7. Is he real? I honestly didn't know you had these sweeties in your neck of the woods! We never saw any until we came quite far south.

  9. Great shot, it has an almost painterly quality.
    Thank you for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme.
