He’s still looking gnarly with his late summer molting, but his crest is coming back.
Red can be seen most days feeding his adopted Cowbird. If you missed the post about Cowbirds, I wrote about them HERE.
I haven’t seen Mrs. for a few weeks. Although there was a very young female Cardinal who stopped by. Maybe Red is in charge of all the children, legitimate or not?
Red’s current look makes me miss the days of old when Red was the most handsome bird in our desert.
Happy Friday! What are your plans for the weekend?
Aw, poor Red. He will look his best soon I hope. How nice of him to help a strange dinosaur out! Mooobird! Have a happy weekend, Elizabeth. ☺️
I hope Red looks better soon. I’m thankful for my old photos of him! Have a good weekend too.
To be fair, it’s hard to keep up the looks when you are in charge of the children!
You gave me a good laugh!
It’s quite wild how Red looks during molting season. Hopefully, he’ll be back to handsome self soon enough.
Yes, I agree. I can see slight improvement.
Red is so pretty. We have one who likes to roost in the cherry tree. A break. We have been pretty busy but it has been good and continuing with PT at home and walking. I really look forward to a relaxing weekend!
I had a super busy week. Every day I had appointments or meetings including the dentist, had to drive my husband to periodontist, hair appointment 45 minutes away, etc. I’m glad it’s Friday and I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend, too.
Oh, yes, we had a similar week!!! But a lot was taken care of! I need a hair appointment!
I needed a hair appointment too. I only go every three or four months.
The dentist discovered an infected molar so my husband had to get the tooth pulled by a periodontist. I was so concerned since he had the knee replacement recently. But they gave him antibiotics and he’s doing fine. Next is an implant for him. It’s never ending!
