A beautiful day for birding. My friends are licensed bird banders, and I had the pleasure of joining them today while they banded. *I only helped release birds as I’m not permitted to retrieve them from nets.* I love studying them up close; it inspires my artwork!

Bright red male northern cardinal is in the middle of the photo. He is surrounded by small tree branches which have not started getting leaves yet. The background is the clear blue sky. Lighting is from the right side of the photo as the sun was rising.
On the day this photo was taken, the male northern cardinal was the first bird to show up to the feeders after I had filled them. He was trying to get there before the Grackles and European Starlings took over. 😁

An immature #BullHeadedShrike. Adults have a whiter throat patch and more defined facial pattern, but in many ways the immature strikes me as more interesting because of the rich rufous barring!
