Northern Cardinal - - Singing

With only an hour or two before work the other day, I couldn't travel too far to shoot. I hiked around a Boston marsh, and found this male Northern Cardinal. This is the time of year when the males start fighting over females, and coming down low to sing out in the open. This particular bird was singing nonstop for almost the entire time I was hiking around the marsh. I finally found it a few minutes before I had to leave. The light wasn't the best, but I did what I could.
