I've been hunting cardinals for weeks now, and I finally managed to shoot one. I was so excited to actually lure one of these guys into my yard!
This is a male northern #cardinal -- the females don't have the striking red plumage, but are, instead, a lot more interesting in some ways, sporting tawny bodies with red accents.
I'm pretty lucky to have snapped this picture. #NovaScotia sits at the very northern tip of the northern cardinal's range. In fact, I don't remember ever seeing one, growing up in #CapeBreton. Here in #Halifax, though, I usually see a few of them every summer.
