Getting closer to the Cardinal of the trees

Description

Under the advice of NB-PhotoArt I have recropped the Cardinal of the trees to get rid of that god awful out of focus tree lump. Now I'm not convinced as I think this is a crop to far but I have to admit that NB-PhotoArt does know his animal photography so should probably just shut up and do as I'm told.
Well North America decided to go from -17 degrees c to 15 over night so I decided to make the most of it and go on a nature walk along the Missouri river. 
The warm up had caused the ground to defrost making it a bit soggy underfoot so I scared most things off as I trudged along my way. This male Northern Cardinal however was suitably distracted chasing another bird out of his tree to bother with me.
