The Conceited Cardinal

Remember back in January, our red friend... well, he continues to hang around and I was lucky to get this shot of him. It's not the greatest shot, but he sure makes our day with his beautiful music! (Click on the picture to see him much better.)



He tends to see his reflection in the sun window that's in our family room and will constantly "bang" into this window for a few minutes before getting the picture - I ain't going thru!

He then moves on to other areas of the backyard. The other day he was at Glenn's truck "banging" into the bumper. He could see his reflection. Then he was "banging" into the mirrors on the side of the truck too. Once again, he could see himself. We even heard him at the neighbor's house, "banging" and crashing into their clear basketball backboard! Silly Bird!

He's pretty! and pretty silly - I love it when you get to know a wild animal that sticks around.

Definitely better to have a cardinal hanging around than the snakes, bees, etc. that your home also seems to attract! :)
