I love that cardinal red!
Woah.. I've been scarred by my biology class we took evolution and I can't look at this without thinking "ahh, yes, sexual selection. The male with the most vibrant feathers is chosen to mate and the allele is passed on."
Yeah.. I just wrote a biology exam today..

Thanks, Sandy! What a neat way to describe them! Wish I would've thought of that! Would've been a good title!

You're so very welcome!!
Well I have a reason for calling them
that...my father passed away 18 years
ago right after Thanksgiving,he loved
birds all kinds,he always made sure his
bird feeders were full in the winter,
well about four days before we spent our
first Christmas without him I was sitting
in my dinning room and looked out the window
there used to be a large pussy-willow bush in
my neighbors yard and for a few seconds I
thought they had decorated it with red ornaments
or ribbons,but then all of a sudden they started to
fly around and I realized that the bush was full
of Cardinals!! I know it might sound strange,but
from that day on anytime I've been feeling sad I
will see unusual things concerning birds,I think my
dad sends them to me to make me feel better,and it
always works!!So I've always since then thought of them
as Winters Decorations!!

Oh wow! What an incredible story. My dad passed away 16 yrs ago, right before Thanksgiving!
I really like that story. Thanks for sharing it with me. I believe it's his way of bringing good things to you, too!
I know they never leave us!
