cardinals

There's something good to eat under the burning bush.

The young cardinal pair are back again today. He's bright red, with the color concentrated most deeply around his face. She's dove gray with a dark pink beak.

They hop around like bunnies, rooting in the old leaves like truffle pigs. He's better at finding stuff than she, but he shares. Sweet.

I remember cardinals from childhood years in Illinois. Never saw them here in Maine til the climate change. Now we have cardinals.
