Just now I saw a male and female cardinal outside our living room window, in our yard! They were hanging around eating stuff off the ground so I got to watch them for quite a while. The female has an orange tuft on the back of her head and a slight splash of orange on her warm gray wings. The male looks like he punched his orange beak through a black rectangle! I had never noticed the black as a rectangle shape because I'd never seen a cardinal head on before! His red body was a primary red but his feathers were slightly muddy red.
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
