“Joe” The Northern Cardinal.

I am home of “Joe” the northern Cardinal. Joe has lived here a couple years. He is a very Large Cardinal. Nearly twice the size of some males. He eats tons, and is a camera ham.

If you're a birdwatcher or a lover of fine art and photography, you'll be delighted to know that Oklahoma is home to one of the most striking birds in North America - the Red Northern Cardinal. These birds are a photographer's dream, with their vibrant red plumage, distinctive crest, and black mask around their eyes.

As a photographer, I can tell you that capturing these birds on camera is an exhilarating experience. Whether you're a professional or an amateur, the challenge of getting that perfect shot of a Red Northern Cardinal is what keeps us coming back for more. With a little bit of patience and some basic knowledge of bird behavior, you can get up close and personal with these stunning birds.

Red Northern Cardinals are found throughout Oklahoma, from the wooded areas of the eastern part of the state to the urban parks and backyards of the western regions. They are a common sight in Oklahoma's backyards, especially during the winter months when they flock to feeders in search of food.

One of the best things about photographing Red Northern Cardinals is that they are not shy birds. In fact, they are quite the opposite - they are bold and confident and will often come quite close to people. This makes it easy to get great shots of them, whether you're using a telephoto lens or a point-and-shoot camera.

To get the best shots of Red Northern Cardinals, it's important to understand their behavior. They are active during the day, but tend to be most active during the early morning and late afternoon hours. They also tend to feed on the ground, so placing birdseed on the ground can be a great way to attract them.
