Like the in-flight capture. They're not here yet, but I'm guessing it won't be long.

I like the view from behind, shows off the tail feathers.

Last spring a pair nested in my lilac bush but unfortunately a squirrel/cat got to the eggs & the female. The male hung around for a week or so, which was sad to see. Afterwards, I didn't see him for awhile but he eventually reappeared with a new mate & they were regulars at my feeder this winter. They are especially beautiful against the snow.

Full breeding plumage. The cardinals are not found in the CO mountains. It is a bird I miss, especially when I need a color accent in winter.

Excellent ID on species and sex. We have these birds in our forests in good numbers, but I haven't seen one for a few days. The snowstorm may have reduced insect activity. Supposed to be 70 by Friday.
