This fine-feathered friend is standing guard over a nest which is located in a bush just to his left. I think he sensed danger, but I'm not sure from what source. After a bit he flew away so the danger probably passed and he felt his nest was safe again - for awhile.

Very colourful!
The cardinal is one of my favourite birds.
What a sweet portrait of this Cardinal. I hope his nest does well.
Gorgeous capture, Lowell!
Really? You've still got birds after that hurricane? I'd have thought they'd be somewhere up around North Carolina by now. (BTW, I had to go all the way to Arizona one spring in order to see the only two live cardinals I've ever seen.)
Really cute and pretty!!!
I am sending a comment as I have had trouble getting your blog to accept my comments, no idea why. Lovely male cardinal guarding his nest.
A very beautiful bird, Lowell. Maybe you were coming too close ?
He's a handsome guy!
That Cardinal looks terrific. Glad you mentioned his nest was in a nearby bush as he is much too large for that birdhouse. Have a great weekend.
What a beauty. I've found that photographing cardinals here in Arizona is a bit of a challenge. They are so much more skittish than other birds.
Aw, Lowell. this beauty was posing for you!
He is gorgeous! Cardinals are just about my favorite bird.
Thanks once again for your kind comments on my photography. They mean a lot coming from you and really make my day!
He's the most colourful wee guard I've ever seen Lowell 😀
A pretty sentinel. Wish we had Cardinals up this way
