Looking at a mixed flock of siskens, chickadees and goldfinches this morning 
in my Hantsport backyard I noticed an unfamiliar robin sized olive grey bird 
with a large bright orangeish bill under the feeder.  After a pause i 
realized it was a very nice female northern cardinal - the first at my 
feeders.

My bp was already going up from this when the male flushed from under some 
brush and joined her - a bright and diffused ball of red in my rose bush, 
very fine, both looking healthy and vigourous.

Great way to start a weekend!
