Pink Cardinal.jpg (Cardinalis cardinalis)

Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) We rarely get these pink Cardinals where I live. I see them more more frequently along the Central Texas Coast. Taken through two sets of dirty glass doors. The other Northern Cardinal was posted as a reference.

What a pretty bird! Pink is my favourite colour! Incredible detail and clarity through two lots of dirty glass.

Wow, never heard of this color. I have heard of the rare yellow ones. I have had females with a green tint before. Thanks for sharing !!!

The Pink one is equally eye-catching! And the IQ is very good though shot through two glass panes!
