A few weeks ago husband M and I had just awoken, he looked out the bedroom window and said there was a red finch singing high atop the tree. I said 'red finch? Finches aren't red.' So I went to have a look and was able to zoom in to take this photo. I said 'that's a cardinal silly!' However, isn't that a great way to start your day? M says the birds always wake him up these days, I hear nothing through the closed windows.

Good Sunday greetings Elke
Lovely photo, we have red finches here but no cardinals! Valerie
it's so nice
Very cute!
Nice story ... 'husband' will never become a bird watcher! LOL
Oh, I love birds! 🖤💙🖤💙🖤
It is a great way to start the day!
It is wonderful! We've a regular pair. I have to balance out the bears waking, with the bird traffic at the feeder.
Maybe I don’t know my birds that well either Valerie didn’t know there are red ones. I did spot a more unusual parrot coloured finch one year.
Oh..a good sign for spring! Lovely! I don't know my birds either..=)
Spring just might be here..well, not this weekend. A cold wind and a rain that keeps coming, but we have seen some of these two.
We get cardinals here too. But, I have never heard them sing.
Beautiful bird! I've spotted a jay recently.
A great way to start the day!!!
Very fine bird ;)
It is nice but donno much about birds. Learning about the ones that visit my garden :-D
What A Beautiful Blue Bird Day - Happy Pi My Friend - Happy Pi

I think you're right and that is a cardinal. We have some what are called "purple finches" but they do look more red to me. I'm looking at the first robin in our yard right now - a good sign spring is on the way.
Birds are amazing to watch and listen to 🐦
Soo beautiful Christine ! I love birds!!
Uy que lindo pajarito, genial historia , Te mando un beso
I'm not sure what type of finch we have here in North Idaho
Over here it would be mynahs, Java finches, saffron fiches, sparrows, doves. I haven't seen many cardinals at all. I wonder what happened to them.
I always enjoy seeing birds and hearing their bird song :)
All the best Jan
I like birds and their song.
Beautiful.
I love that your husband has great hearing; this is an anomaly. :)
Red cardinals I don't see here but I am awakened early by a blackbird with its beautiful song and the chirping of some sparrows. The blackbird has now become my alarm clock but he is very early sometimes.
