I photographed this Northern Cardinal on a foggy morning while at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. I was photographing a Barred Owl when this Northern Cardinal landed nearby.
How I Got The Photo: Northern Cardinal On A Foggy Morning
I had a Barred Owl located straight west of the 4-corners intersection in the curve of the auto tour road. I was photographing the Barred Owl when this Northern Cardinal landed in a tree nearby. I had my camera resting on a bean bag draped over the open window of my pickup.
