Early. Again. I'm on a roll.
This week's theme is: Red. And I have a photo of... a bird! Surprise, surprise, huh?
I took this photo in Hawaii in September 2005. It is a Red-Crested Cardinal (Paroaria cucullata); they migrated to Hawaii from Brazil. I think they are so full of character.
Lovely.

That is a pretty bird. Almost looks like a red-headed woodpecker that someone posted for red. Great photo and have a good week.

Thanks for your visit! :)
