The female Northern Cardinal looks drab from a distance, but up close in the warm morning light you can see that they are very pretty and colorful. This was the mate to the cardinal in the male cardinal photograph. I found they were much easier to photograph these birds in the winter because the branches were bare making the birds stand out better.
