Beautiful Amanda! I envy your snow. All we've had here in central NJ are several episodes of an inch of two of snow, changing to sleet, then to rain and gone all in 24 hours.
Thank you so much, Amy! This cardinal is a female. :) I feel like their red is much more vivid in the wintertime! Perhaps it’s just more noticeable in the grey light.
The female Cardinal has hints of red to her feathers but a brown body overall. The male is striking red all over (except for the black mask on his face).
Thank you for reading and commenting ! You are appreciated. 😊
Thanks for that Amanda. We don't have them here in the UK, but I know-ish the bird from films I guess. Very striking! And definitely stands out against the snow :0)

It IS beautiful. Sleet definitely doesn't provide much fun. Did you get to enjoy it at all before it washed away?
Nope, a few hours of snow changed to sleet/freezing rain and rain, mostly late afternoon into the night.
These are so lovely, they perfectly encapsulate the peace and stillness of winter. Thank you for sharing, Amanda!
Thank you so much for checking them out and making time to comment. :) I appreciate it very much.
Great photos!
Thank you so much for reading (and looking!) 😊
Some lovely photos here Amanda! I love the one of the cardinal cocking his(?) head. Best wishes to you as we move into Spring <3

Beautiful images! The cold has felt like forever this year, but these photos make it worthwhile.
Aww! Thank you so much!
You won’t believe it: I *just* received a winter weather advisory moments ago. About 20 minutes after I posted this!
I’ve gotten my pics, so I think I’m cool to move to spring. 😂 It has most definitely been a long winter.
There is one more place I wanted to go that I’ve never seen in the snow, but I’m not sure the temperatures will accommodate it.
I guess we shall see in the days to come!
Gorgeous photos!
You are so fast! :)
Thank you so much. I greatly admire your work as well. It is a wonderful compliment.
Amanda
