I sound exactly like Forrest Gump when I talk. It's very popular with the ladies.<BR/><BR/>Bubs, I would ask if you saw any egrets, but Matty Boy would then whack me over the head with a pun.<BR/><BR/>SF, cardinals make me happy too.<BR/><BR/>Tim, ILLINOIS!!!!!<BR/><BR/>bsuwg, the Cardinals football team will always be St. Louis to me as well. Hey, at least we're not old enough to remember the Chicago Cardinals.<BR/><BR/>d, I just want to clarify that the sound recording was my own, but the photo of the cardinal was stolen from some better photographer than me.Splotchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427992716600704581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-81270420053330279412008-03-31T14:24:00.000-06:002008-03-31T14:24:00.000-06:00Yay, Splotchy, for that beautiful cardinal photo! ...Yay, Splotchy, for that beautiful cardinal photo! They live here year-round, but they certainly get more vocal now as they search for mates.<BR/><BR/>And hummers definitely migrate, Matty Boy. It's incredible how far they fly, given their food requirements.dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-5229359868790350142008-03-31T10:10:00.000-06:002008-03-31T10:10:00.000-06:00Cardinals have always been special to me.

I finally saw some robins yesterday, and with today being the first thunderstorm of the season, I hope spring is finally, finally here.<BR/><BR/>I love cardinals. They were my grandmother's favorite bird. When Becca and I used to have birdfeeders (before the management made us take them down), we got some cardinals that came up to feed. There's several that live here in the area, and I love to see them.SamuraiFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313259493587442589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-41059994577895490332008-03-31T08:27:00.000-06:002008-03-31T08:27:00.000-06:00That's good to hear.

I have to tell you, everything around here seems pretty gray and dismal this morning compared to where we just came from, and it was really cool seeing all the birds while we were down there.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747874295331152779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-27061702183856636372008-03-31T07:51:00.000-06:002008-03-31T07:51:00.000-06:00I don't really recognize birdsongs, but I know wha...<I>I don't really recognize birdsongs, but I know what a cardinal sounds like.</I><BR/><BR/>This reminded me of Gump saying, "I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is."Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04961607486578877586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-73768363847416082242008-03-31T04:57:00.000-06:002008-03-31T04:57:00.000-06:00We don't have cardinals in California, which is a ...We don't have cardinals in California, which is a shame because they are so pretty.<BR/><BR/>We have hummingbirds. I don't know if hummingbirds migrate or hibernate, but I almost never see them until mid-February when the weather turns nice, and they hang out until summer ends.<BR/><BR/>I've heard they have to eat a lot for their weight because of their style of flight. I don't know if that's conducive to migration.Matthew Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769958949302039878noreply@blogger.com
