Bird on a wire

This Northern Cardinal looked splendid against the blue sky, and I also liked how he used his tail for balance.

Nice composition and colour. The bird looks very relaxed until one notices the flexed tail.

Indeed. I didn’t notice the tail until I looked at the photo.

Thanks Jo. Most birds seem to have a good grip.

It wasn’t windy either so I was surprised by the tail.

  That is strange. Maybe it’s a balance thing for the bird at the time

    Maybe it was windier up there.
