Congratulations Ramon Casares
Red-Crested Cardinal

Hi all, today I would like to show you another endangered species, this bird is the most popular in Argentina to keep in captivity, sadly, because of this, there are allready some places here where you no longer see it, in corrientes these birds population is good, this picture of this beautifull male singing was taken a few days ago with the early mornig light. Hope you like it!
