Johnnie Ann Gaskill 		  Thank you, Dominick! Cardinals are so skittish, especially the males, which makes them hard to photograph. So, I was really glad to get this shot.

Johnnie Ann Gaskill 		  Thanks, Anna Mary. I think he saw me, but decided to hang around a few more seconds, which gave me time to snap the photo.
