These images are dedicated to a male Northern Cardinal that unfortunately struck the back door of my house and did not survive.   I felt horrible.   Before I placed his body to rest in one of our pine trees that he so frequently liked to visit, I captured these few images as a remembrance of his wonderful feathers and visits to our yard.
