This week has to be a photo from the trip my daughter and I just did. However, I realize that I posted photos each day that I reported on our spring break (Yorktown and Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Monticello)
This is a Cardinal, right? They are such beautiful birds!

Lovely "male" cardinal. Unfair that the males are the more beautiful (red)of the species.
Cardinals are indeed beautiful. We have a loyal male and female couple living in our back yard. I always love catching a glimpse of them together in the bushes.
Very beautiful capture. I especially like the contrast of colors.
I don't know much about birds, but he certainly is worth watching (even more so when I click the picture and get the bigger format where you can really see his eyes).
Diane--Yes, the bird world is full of beautiful males and boring colored females. Sigh...
Trish--How fun to have a cardinal couple in your back yard! We have blue jays and various yellow birds, but no red
Karen--I took this photo from so far away that I wasn't sure he would even show up well so I was quite pleased
Mostraum--They are amazing to see and the flash of red really grabs one's attention!
What a beautiful shot! It looks like you caught him just about to fly!
Col--This guy was definitely hopping around a lot, I am amazed that I caught him in a still moment!
Cardinals are so pretty! The first time I saw one was in Virginia. I hope you guys had a fantastic time there!
I love cardinals! You were touring the part of the country I grew up in.
Alyce--I always forget about Cardinals then see them when I am back east and love them all over again
Bermuda--Virginia is such a gorgeous state, even with no leaves on the trees!
Yes, Cardinals look so majestic. I love the red, too.
Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
Lovely colours, one of my favourite things to paint.
What a beautiful bird...and hopefully a sign that winter is finally on its way out.
Laurel-Rain--Majestic is a great word for this bird.
Irene--I didn't realize you paint, what a wonderful talent to have. Nature must provide you with endless subjects!
Irish--It felt as if winter was still around this past week! Rain and cold.
He's lovely! I love birds. We had a female cardinal visit us last winter/spring. We figured she was lost because we very rarely (if ever) get them here.
Marie--I love seeing birds, but usually don't much about them. This one, however, was easy to identify!
They are a beautiful bird. And so regal too! We love to sit on our patio and listen to their call from the backyard.
A very handsome cardinal! I'm still waiting for a chance get a good picture of one. The ones round here are too skittish (or I'm too slow on the trigger...).
Here's my snapshot: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/04/saturday-snapshot.html
Angie--I never heard this bird so have no idea what they sound like... now I feel like I missed out on part of it :-)
Bev--This guy was pretty skittish, but I stalked him and stayed far away (I have a great lens and cropped in on the photo)
I can only tell a crow, and a pigeon from among the small birds. So I'll accept that everyone is saying it's a cardinal. Beautiful picture though. Birds make for some awesome picture candidates!
Aths--That is really funny!
