First year Female Northern Cardinal photographed September 9, 2019 at the Laguna Seca Ranch in deep South Texas. 

I think that I like photographing juveniles the most because it's a confirmation of the circle of life.

1/1250 sec
f/6.3
ISO 560

Comments welcomed--both good and bad.

Excellent head turn and dead center light...sort of on the fence about the flowers,
I think in this instance they attract my attention from the lovely Cardinal.

Sweet! Love the head turn and beautiful setting. I agree it is lovely to see the young as a hopeful affirmation of a continuing life cycle.
