Cardinals for Christmas

I thought I would share some footage of my resident cardinal couple for Christmas. While I have some great pix of the female, my footage of her is lost for the time being. Meanwhile, enjoy the pix and the male prancing around the water feature!

I see there is a slight variation to your Cardinals next to the ones here. Yours have a gray or blue back while ours are completely red. I wonder what that means???? Just a note, nothing more. Have a happy New Year with lots of good opportunities for pictures and videos.

I don't know either. But I've noticed that we have variations in the color red too -- there are some that are much lighter and brighter red than others. Perhaps they are juveniles? Happy New Years to you and yours too!

Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. Nice warm weather and sunshine !

Here in Germany, it is cold and snowing at the moment. But as usual for the time around Christmas, there is rain and milder weather on the way.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

Thanks -- and here's wishing you a wonderful holiday season, rain, snow, or shine!

Thanks. That's how it is in the desert most of the time -- sunshiny and warm. But there have been rare incidents in which the cacti have seen snow! Wishing you a wonderful holiday - whatever the weather!

Thanks for telling me about this one. Such colourful birds. I found this a little strange because of the weather! Here in the UK it is icy cold and you are showing us A Christmas video in sunshine and warmth. Have a Happy Christmas and a joyful and peaceful New Year.
