I spy with my little eye….

….my state bird, the one I’m closest affiliated with, the Cardinal.

He was sitting up in the birch tree at the Botanical Gardens, attempting to play coy. 🙂

Since I’m going to be working later than normal tonight, this is as much of a blog entry as my brain can create.

Silver Blue, who will see everyone soon!

Not so birds of a feather…

By Silver Blue

 

I associate closely with Cardinals because they’re the state bird of my birth state, and therefore… one of the few red things I affiliate myself with. So much more interesting to align with, say, the Blue Jay, given my affinity for all things blue.

This photo was taken at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in the spring of 2011. As you can see, one of the parrots they have in captivity was paid a visit…by a cardinal. They posed for several photos, and then the Cardinal actually descended to the ground under the parrot to retrieve lost seed. The parrot seemed to pay the Cardinal no mind.

Therein is the lesson to be learned: if it’s not something that affects you, LEAVE IT BE.

Silver Blue, who thinks its time for one more glass of iced tea prior to bedtime.
