Red Cardinal in the rain

Freezing rain today. Roads a mess.

This shot was my first shot of the day taken from the kitchen table at lunch time. So hard to get a decent shot of the cardinals at the feeders, they are very jumpy and run if they see movement or light off a lens or anything.

For a really good shot of a male and female cardinal having marriage difficulties see this shot by JacksMom a few days ago.

[update]
Yes they really are this color.
