  1. Great series of pics here. I miss seeing the winter cardinals, not many of them down here in Memphis. Or possibly they are here, but there are so many other birds who don’t leave for the winter that you don’t notice them. Either way, that Blue Jay’s mama should make him take a bath…looks like he’s the stinky kid at school.
