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?
