I'm sure their eyes are bigger, or rounder than most birds, and they're so placid. There's something about Cardinals though, as beautiful as they are, that says that selection in the bird world has run amok. Their brash color, to me, just seems to screech at the nearest predator 'eat me!'. They are beautiful, but they lack the quiet beauty of the Titmouse.

But my heart belongs to the regal Cardinal! We once had a cardinal that would peck on the kitchen window to let us know the feeder was empty, and he eventually brought his whole family onto the deck, where we could enjoy their antics just a couple feet away, on the other side of a sliding glass door.debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-82016716887301295252011-01-13T17:07:30.693-06:002011-01-13T17:07:30.693-06:00Gail,
