There was some nice light this morning, so I stuck my lens out the back door and caught a couple of brightly colored backyard visitors.This Northern Cardinal was particularly bright. He was a bit of a challenge to capture, since he was high up in one of our Eastern Redcedars , eating immature cone fruits.Not quite as dramatically colored, this House Finch was all puffed up for warmth and sitting on an exposed branch where it was easy to catch a quick shot of him.The last cooperative bird of the morning was one of our resident Carolina Wrens . Sometimes they sit on exposed branches and sing territorial songs, but this this one seemed to be foraging and had no time to pose for me.
