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!

Whats not to like????? Beautiful.

Gorgeous bird, great pose, lovely color and light. Yeah, what's not to like? Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Amazing bird I would love to see. Love the light and the spread tail.

Hey Ramon, Gracias for showing us so many beautiful birds from your country, I'm really enjoying them :)

Beautiful photo Ramon. The perfect head turn and the fanned tail make this image special.

As close to perfect as one could wish for. Gorgeous bird with stunning pose, color and excellent detail. A killer BG too. Awesome capture Ramon and I wish it were mine < smile >.

Oh man.... que belleza Ramon... la proxima vez, traete uno en la maleta!! :)

Amazing light, BG, colors and exposure. You have a winner here!

Simply beautiful! Love the pose with that perfect head turn and fanned tail. Nice light, good composition, sharp detail and beautiful color. Doesn't get better!

Outstanding Ramón! This is a winner. Very sharp, great light and colour (reds do not appear blown), beautiful BG, head turn and tail. The only thing I would do is give a little more room on top and less room on bottom.

Definitively one of the most beautiful birds that I have seen at BPN so far, the light, sharpness, head turn and BG makes this one a winner for sure, great job and please keep them coming.

Beautiful bird and well-captured. I like the light, details, head angle and BG but the fanned tail puts it over the top for me.

Fantastic image of a gorgeous bird.

Fantastic catch Ramón, very good exposure and eye contact. A real beauty that I have seen here in Europe as a cage bird but that I would love to see in the wild.

Stunning! Thanks for sharing this beauty!

All's been said - great shot of a great bird, technicals 100%. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely shot, Ramon. Really enjoying the birds from your part of the world.
