Here is a lovely bird that is the state bird of seven states - Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia all claim the cardinal as their state bird. This pair was seen at a rest stop in South Carolina - someone obviously didn't give them the memo!

And, seeing no immediate problem...

Beautiful capture, Linda! The Cardinals are gorgeous birds.
Nice captures Linda! I love these little birds... would love the opportunity to capture some one day.
Calling by as another Outdoor Wednesday participant, it looks so colourful.
Beautiful pictures of the majestic and highly attractive birds!
I wish we had birds like this here in the UK - they are so pretty and so colourful.
How beautiful, I love Cardinals!
Love your post and especially I love the path at the top of your blog. I wish I walk down it, so beautiful.
Happy Cardinals in Minnesota as well!

I love that we have them all year long. The couples are fun to watch. I've even seen them 'kissing' in the trees. :)
Cute photo essay!
Cardinals are so much fun to have around and the females are just as beautiful as the males. Love your photos, Linda!
so vibrant!
Beautiful birds, which we don;t have here in Australia, so it's good to see them virtually...
I so miss these birds. None here, so far.
