YOU’LL HAVE TO EXCUSE ME, I’M NOT AT MY BEST

Cardinal I have seen cardinals in this state for the last several weeks. For such a handsome bird, they can look pretty rough when moulting and this one wasn’t taking any nonsense! I’ll be featuring more from this rogues’ gallery in posts to come.

    I’ve never seen a cardinal, but would love to. They are such bright fellows (except this poor little guy, just now). No wonder they are used on Christmas cards so often. Cheery looking birds (again, except this guy today)! But that’s life. He’ll soon look wonderful again.
