A Calm Moment In A Turbulent Day

Another day of strange weather. I captured this picture of a female Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) during a calm moment, no rain, no wind, no tornadoes, thank goodness.

She looks stunning in her subtle shades.

  1. I put out peanuts and suet during this recent storm surge – as it raged across the Missouri landscape, More Cardinals around than I previously thought. Lovely birds.
