The Story
Even when the birds are easy to find, there is always something to provide a challenge. Winter photography means battling the harsh cold. However, the subzero temperatures can be a blessing because cardinals tend to gather together in groups and it keeps them from traveling too much. This particular cardinal was located near a feeder in Granite Falls, Minnesota. At times there were 15 to 20 males in view at the same time.
