Thanks! This flock was not at all shy. I was really glad to get her! There were at least 6-8 Cardinals (maybe more). Apparently, the flocking behavior is normal for Cardinals in the fall and winter, though I have not seen such a large flock before.
Fantastic series. I've been trying to get the female, but the one around my house is just too shy.
