A SQUADRON OF CARDINALS—

When I enlarge this image on the computer I can count 14 Cardinals. They were part of the total of 35 I could see at the same time when this picture was taken a few days ago.

That count of a single species of bird has been exceeded only once in the nearly 14 years I have lived here.

I think that was on my 55th birthday when I was able to count 55 Canada Geese on the pond.

Daughter TJ tells me scientists have determined Geese poop on average every 12 minutes.

I don’t even want to imagine what 55 of them would have done had their visit been prolonged.
