winter cardinal

I love the look of cardinals in the winter.  The RED of them in the gray looking trees without leaves makes the cardinals look so different then in the summer.  In my backyard there are at least 3 male cardinals looking for mates....or food.  Today I  saw 3 fluttering about.  It was a cold and blustery day as you can see with this little guy all puffed up to stay warm.  I was able to take a few shots of him before he flew away like the other two did before I could get outside with my camera.
