Just a quick post, today, to share this photo of a cardinal that I took a day or so ago. He perched in a tree for the longest time just observing all the comings and goings of the other birds and creatures that were bustling around the yard. I was lucky enough to snap several photos that show him turning his head at each sound that he heard. The others are on my Flickr photostream.
Also, I am very pleased to report that we have a family in the wren house. Well, not a family, yet. I watched as Mr. and Mrs. Wren decided that the wren house was a fine place to nest. A couple of weeks ago a chickadee was looking it over - she actually poked her head inside a couple of times - but we hadn't cleaned the nest out from last year so she turned her nose (beak) up at it. Probably thought she was dealing with slum lords - ha!
Jack has since cleaned it out. He said it was just stuffed. That's typical of a wren, I think. Nancy, you will correct me if I'm wrong, I hope.
In any case, the wrens spent quite some time in the cranberry bush. They'd hop around the branches and then fly away. And then return. Several trips. Now they're busy getting settled in. It's not in the best of positions so I'm a little concerned whether or not I'll be able to get photos. I will if I can.
On another note, I have nine new Squidoo lenses. I've got four more in the works. I really think I'll be able to reach 50 by June 30th.
It's going to be a beautiful day. The sun is shining. The lake is as blue as it can be. There's a little breeze but it's supposed to reach 79 degrees F.
I'll take it.

Love that picture as I love cardinals.
Sometimes I see one in my backyard and I get all happy.
