Of all the birds that visit my backyard, the male American Cardinal is the showiest, and my photos of these have had the most comments—especially, “That would make a great Christmas card!” One of these days I’ll get a few of the girls in the snow—though they aren’t as showy they are still colorful and very dignified, but don’t position themselves in the same way as the guys. So, here we are, a set of cards designed with a little red and green flair that makes it look like a Christmas card as well. Inside they all say, “May your holiday season be merry and bright!”

• Cards are also available individually for custom quantities or sets.
• Inside, all cards say, “May your holiday season be merry and bright!”
• Cards assort with all other 5″ x 7″ greeting cards (except custom printed cards) for a quantity discount.
• Price includes shipping via Priority Mail.

Cardinal in Forsythia

I think this guy was posing because he sat there for the longest time in the same position. Okay, I get it, I’ll take your picture!

Cardinal in Yew

I had wanted a photo that had a significant amount of green along with the red of the cardinal and the snow, and this cardinal obliged.

Cardinal on Branch

Just the cardinal’s red color against an overcast sky and very little else.

Cardinal in Brambles

Five male cardinals were flitting all over the yard during the snowfall. I only managed to catch three in one shot, but it was a favorite.
