One of the reasons I moved to North Carolina was the Cardinals. I didn't have Cardinals in California and when I would visit N.C., I found them enchanting. Yeah, I know. Rather strange to back up all your worldly possessions and move across the country because of a pretty bird. There were other reasons, too. Really. There were. I do love to see the Cardinals, though. They are beautiful birds. I used to think the female was plain, but the more I see the females, the more I think they are just as pretty as the males in their way. This female was sitting in the Rose of Sharon bush outside my bedroom window this morning. (
Just so you know: the clothesline is not as close as it looks in the picture.) Isn't she lovely?
Have a beautiful day!

The brightness of the cardinal is a cheery spot during the winter. The colors of the female are subtle, making her a real beauty. I enjoy watching birds of all kinds, so have feeders hung up outside my living room windows.
