Gotcha

I’ve figured out where the neighborhood cardinals live – on the next block up from ours. It’s just hard to locate them with all the leaves on the trees now, although I can certainly hear them. I managed to catch this one off guard before she had time to fly away.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
