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.

Have a Happy New Year, Mark!
That is a bummer to lose such a beautiful avian visitor. At least his feathers went to good use, those are awesome!
Happy New Year,
Ron
As a long-time birder, I’m sorry for your loss. *hug*
Very sad about about the Cardinal, but those things happen in nature. I’m glad you captured the beauty of its feathers here. Excellent!
Mark, I hope you and your family have a wonder New Year.
All these are excellent and I like the second most.
Stunning in the beauty of the details.
Thanks very much folks. Happy New Year.
A nice remembrance of such a lovely creature.
