Cardinal finch, Bill?
Lovely.

Thank you Fons!  It is a "Northern Cardinal" common to our area.  Normally we see them in the branches of trees or among the shrubs and not out on an open perch.

Here is a link http://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/northern-cardinal for the Audubon.Org article on the species.  There are recordings of its songs and calls at the bottom right of the page, hearing their mating songs outside is a special treat.

Beatiful image Frank  and fitting tittle. The emptyness filled with mystery
