Northern Cardinal - Sloss Lake, AL
There are few birds that are as striking as this Male Northern Cardinal. This bird was flycatching on the shores of Sloss Lake, Alabama I am guessing to feed the young in the nest. He was very focused on the flying insects in the area so much so that we were able to shoot several photos as close range. Cardinals are part of a very large family that includes grosbeaks and tanagers along with several others.
