Commemorating over 1000 views of this pic on Redbubble.com!

On a frigid winter day this bright red cardinal certainly stood out against the snow. Especially since he insisted on hanging around long enough for an entire photo shoot. He was hoping for some seed I guess. (and yes he was rewarded).

This image was captured in Lynde Shores Conservation Area in Whitby, Ontario, Canada.

"Hyacinth Macaw"

Native to central and eastern South America, the Hyacinth Macaw is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species in the world, though the flightless Kakapo Zealand can outweigh it at up to 3.5 kg. In terms of length it is larger than any other species of parrot. Their popularity as pets has taken a heavy toll on their population in the wild.

Taken at the Calgary Zoo.
