'Our Cardinals'

Submitted by Unabashed Liberal on Wed, 02/25/2015 - 10:45pm

For several years now, we've spent more time 'in the South' in order to be nearer to a couple of medical facilities. And during this time, we've seen our resident Cardinal Family grow from a pair, to 'fifteen.'

Then, this past November, as I happened out to prepare for a predusk feeding, I witnessed a feral cat carrying off either a female, or a very young Cardinal.

Shortly after that incident, I noticed that we had lost another one.

Hat Tip to TT for giving me the idea of posting this video [21:17 Minutes].

Good morning 99percenters!

I love the zoo. If I visit a city that has one, there's a good chance I'm going to check it out. The animals are great, but the best part is hearing the questions little kids ask their parents about the animals.

"Dad, if those are lions why don't they have, um, fur all over?" (Child lifts hand and and pretends to outline their face.)

Yes, kids do say the darnest things.
