Something about the red in the white, of course, that makes you pull out your phone to take a picture and reminds you to bring the good camera next time.
There is a long history of writers who love birds, gay men who go birding, and gay writers who cannot stop talking about birds. I will not become one, exactly. But in the park, there are so many birds all year long, it seems worth the time to give them a look and a mention.
Squirrels and raccoons, too, sure. They are there. But those beasts are not as interesting or as beautiful as the cardinals.
It is a big ol' blizzard out there tonight. People in New York City act like they have never seen snow before. This is unexpected behavior.
More birds.

As a kid, I always loved cardinals... Blue Jays too... I always thought they should marry each other and then have little Purple Martin babies.
