Description

I swear this cardinal loves the camera. It always comes when I'm sitting by the feeders, and always "poses" for me.
Here it has a large sunflower seed which it held while I made some photos.

So funny! There is a cardinal at the local playground here in Tucson that poses too....he always flies up to my kiddos, lands on our blanket, and "begs" for food, poses for pictures, then flies away. Awesome capture!! #8523172
