Lady Cardinal wins Blip honors!

The male northern cardinal gets more than his share of attention because of his handsome red feathers, but the female cardinal is my favorite. She may not wear a brilliant red coat, but she can hold her own in any beauty contest, especially if you like yellow and orange with red trim. We had yet another day of sunshine, which is extremely rare in January here on the south shore of Lake Erie. To put it mildly, we were delighted!
