Cardinals in the Back Yard

Another hot day today, but had a pair of cardinals visit the bird bath this morning! For once, the right lens was on the camera, the dogs didn't bark and there was enough water to keep them in the yard for a few minutes. Even though the female is not a striking as the male, she is very pretty in her own subtle way!
It's hard to miss this guy flying around in the yard. We've had cardinals nesting in the yard in the past, but they must have been somewhere else this spring. It's great to see them (and hear them) in the yard again.
