Cardinal left the feeder, my guest of honor arrived!Īll day long the feeders were busy…I also spied a female oriole, but wasn’t fast enough to snap her picture. It’s pretty awful when you start taking Cardinals for granted they’re such beautiful birds! But, I couldn’t help looking for you-know-who.
