Description
A beautiful male Pyrrhuloxia (Cardinalis sinuatis) perches at our campsite in Falcon State Park, Texas. I love how the beautiful rim light of the low sun sets the bird apart from the background and lights up it's colorful chest.
The Pyrrhuloxia or desert cardinal is a medium-sized North American song bird found in the American southwest and northern Mexico. This distinctive species with a short, stout bill and red crest and wings, and closely resembles the Northern cardinal and the Vermilion cardinal which are in the same genus.

I've never seen this bird before and this is a great introduction. You've captured it in a great pose and detail. Also a nice clean background.
