Check out this one-eyed cardinal that's been visiting my dad's bird feeder.
It's a shadow. You can see it on the beak a little bit. It's more noticeable due to the extremely saturated colors.
Someone else remarked about the color saturation. I did a little bit of adjusting in Google Photos, including moving the HDR slider to 50%. Is that a bad thing? I like how it helps bring out the details.
