This guy was quite the character. Squawked (literally made this raspy noise that I couldn't believe a cardinal could make!) at every sparrow that tried to join him on the feeder. I'm sure his appearance didn't win him any prizes either! :-)

I think he needs a make-over!
Oh Shelley, he looks just like I felt this morning. Out of sorts for no reason at all.
Grin - this guys truly has a bad hair day. In the midst of molting, huh? Good capture!
Cheers, Klaus
He is so pitiful, he is pretty. He is still proud, rightfully so. The Cardinals are such beautiful birds. I keep trying to get a good photo.
Aw....he's still a pretty boy!
Lynne - yes he does! :-)
NC - that's a perfect description!
KJ - molt madness!
Leedra - hopefully he'll look pretty soon enough so I can capture him against the white snow.
Birdlady - yes - you're right!
Your cardinal looks like my bald blue jay..it's that time of year...
Ahhh yes the molt is upon us. Some of the birds look so bad they should just stay home until their feathers grow in!! haha great capture
