This is hoping that everyone has a wonderful holiday season and a better New Year. We will be without snow this Christmas, but I was able to find a photo of this pretty female cardinal enjoying this snowfall we had last winter. I’m so grateful I have all these beautiful birds around in our yard to help pass the time during the long winter months.

Thanks Shelia, I think the female cardinals are really beautiful in their own way. Some are prettier than others, but I’ve yet to see an ugly bird.
