The winter bird that got me interested in birding was the Northern cardinal. (Description in ALT.) #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #HoosierMast

- The male Northern cardinal is a medium-sized bird who is red all over except for a black mask. Here, he is taking off from a feeder, wings spread. A small American goldfinch is still on the feeder, showing the difference in size between these 2 birds. (remote)
- A male Northern cardinal flaps his wings while trying to hang onto the feeder. His wing feathers are red at the base and become almost translucent near the tips. (remote)
