I spotted a cardinal around my bird feeder and I went gaga! I haven’t seen one of these vividly colored birds in 35 years! I love them!

And I grabbed my phone and took as many pics and videos as I could before it flew away.

I was delighted when I spotted the same bird/his or her cousin or sibling or…who knows? the following morning.

I’m no birding expert, but I never see a cardinal feeding in the afternoons.
