CARDINALS, ENCORE.

ALOHA! Well, I had a new bird visitor outside my window this morning, and since yesterday's cardinals evoked such positive responses, here you go! I'll get back to posting my favorite pics from last week's Merrie Monarch Festival soon enough. Here is a different kind of cardinal, one we've probably all seen before (perhaps on this very blog, even! ;-) — a female American Cardinal.

Thanks to Doug's frequent and generous feeding of the local bird population, we are blessed with a near-constant display of beautiful males and females flying through our yard. Plus, they are lovely to listen to, with a surprisingly large repertoire of sounds.

You can view more pictures of birds in Hawaii by clicking on the "birds" category link on the left sidebar.

Wishing you a beautiful day,
