My camera doesn't zoom quite enough to get a clear shot of a cardinal, so this is the more realistic view as one tries to get close enough to see them. Every day this week I've heard male cardinals singing their song, and it reminds me of summers in my hometown of Homewood. There are a lot of cardinals to see where there is dense brush growing along the bike paths in town. Red is said to be the most interesting color to the human eye, which is probably why a lot of holidays and sports teams use it. If the northern cardinal were an extremely rare species here (like snowy owls) people would drive for days to see it. Luckily there are hundreds in town, so treat yourself to a song and some color, you may only need to step out your front door.
