see the birdie?

Yes, it's a little blurry....I took it through the window....wasn't about to go out in the sprinkles!

This little guy was hiding in the trees during our much anticipated rain this morning. A cold front is supposed to bring us some more seasonable weather. No more sweating in October please.

People who move here from other parts of the country always call Cardinals "red birds"

"Hey! Did you see that red bird out there?"

When we lived in Park City, UT....we ventured into Salt Lake to visit their zoo.

They had an exhibit that was supposed to mirror the southwest.

It was full of squirrels, foxes, snakes, turtles, and "red birds."

They had 2 Cardinals in the exhibit...a male and female. Both had their wings clipped and just stood there in the corner.

It made me sad.

As I have said before....I am no PETA member....but, those red birds don't belong in a zoo!

It's like putting a Mockingbird in the zoo. Who wants to see that?

People go to the zoo to see Elephants, Zebra, Sea Lions, and Flamingos. Not Cardinals.

As you can see....not much to blog about....just birds. Enjoying being boring.

  1. that is pretty ridiculous, putting a cardinal in a zoo. but not nearly as ridiculous as putting nobel-peace prize winner in front of obama's name.
