This male cardinal, with the colorful fall trees in the background, really moved me when I saw him eyeing me as I shot this image. The bright red of these birds is perhaps responsible for getting more people to open up a field guide than any other bird. They're a perfect combination of familiarity, conspicuousness, and style: a shade of red you can't take your eyes off. Their sweet whistles are one of the first sounds of the morning. I truly give thanks to God for this bird and all of them, along with total His creation. I thought this scripture, Psalm 95:2,3, went so perfectly with the colors of this card and the fact we give thanks and praise the Lord, extol him with music and song, which this bird truly is a songbird and I look forward to hearing the cardinals whenever I am outside. This makes a great image for Thanksgiving. Image taken with a Nikon Nikor 55mm-300mm lens at 280mm.
