This northern cardinal is aware of its surroundings as it spins around with a seed in its beak.

I am trying to get the hang of encoding with svtav1 library. Unfortunately I can’t use ffmpeg 4 on my desktop so I transfer the files to my laptop, with ffmpeg 6, and then can use a command like this:

ffmpeg -i [input] -c:v libsvtav1 -c:a copy -preset 6 -svtav1-params "keyint=10s:tune=0:enable-overlays=1:scd=1:scm=0" [output]

2026-05-04 Northern cardinal with seed on her face

I have not had a chance to go through and edit videos from the bird feeder recently. I have a whole bunch from April.

This one was fairly amusing.

Northern Cardinal Pair

This captivating photo features a pair of northern cardinals perched on a bare tree branch. The male cardinal stands out with its vibrant red plumage, complete with a black mask around its eyes and beak. In contrast, the female cardinal exhibits a more subdued appearance, primarily in shades of brown with hints of reddish hues on her wings and tail. Both birds face the same direction against a backdrop of green foliage, illuminated by soft natural light.

The northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) is one of North America’s most popular, familiar, and beloved birds. Within its range, it is a common backyard feeder bird and every holiday season its visage is spread across a vast array of holiday décor. In fact, my Christmas tree topper is a northern cardinal!

hi wafrn, here's a baby cardinal.

Morning Visitor

Here’s an image of a northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) from years ago, visiting my bird bath. I dug through my cardinal directory to find it and realized I’ve photographed a surprising number of cardinals at this exact spot. This one ended up in my Pixels gallery, though I’m not entirely sure why anymore. It’s a good image—I just don’t think I’d choose it today. It’s a small reminder of how my photographer’s eye has shifted over the years, and how you can never quite predict what will resonate with other people.

Bronze Breasted Arboreal Beauty

This female Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) has been around for a while — she probably still is. They show up regularly, usually early in the morning or again around dusk, though I spot them at other times as well.

Through the Branches

I really like this image of a northern cardinal and a chipping sparrow. It’s a shame the sparrow decided to look away—probably tracking the cardinal’s arrival. If its head had been turned toward the camera, I might have added it to my gallery. But it is what it is. C’est la vie.
