Cardinal

Continuing with my "5" Star Photos is a (Northern) Cardinal. Although it is primarily found in the eastern half of the US it is a regular visitor to the southern half of Arizona.  Although not abundant, it is often seen here at The Azure Gate. It has a very distinctive call consisting of 4 to 6 high sharp "whistles". He loves sitting atop our tallest mesquite tree singing to the world.

I like this photo for the contrasting red on light blue.
