Settling into home for the evening I raise a window blind and reveal a love scene. A pair of Cardinals, a young couple judging by their size, perched together facing each other beak to beak on a thin branch slightly above a line of daffodils in vibrant yellow bloom. The male is crimson red and the female brown with russet touches edging her wings and tail as they share the food they found. After a few moments they drop to the ground and resume hunting for bugs in the leaves and grass as winds become brisk in advance of tonight’s storms.
