The Red Cardinal




The pesky red cardinal, arriving in early November, flew at the windows of our home to attack his vicious enemy: his own reflection. His two grey girlfriends hung out with him for a week, then flew off to more interesting pursuits. You gotta hand it to this bird: he's persistent! We curb our impatience with him in interesting ways: most recently, by giving him the name Chappy. Somehow, it just feels right.
