Wordless Wednesday #81~ Cardinal: KY State Bird

              I'm so lucky to have a large family of Cardinals visit my bird feeder every day.  The adult birds can't manage to eat from the feeder.  They expect their young to drop some of the seed on the ground.  Lately, I just take hand fulls of sunflower seed and throw them on the deck floor so they and the squirrels can give me a show. 

              When I was in high school, my Momma shared a rhyme which I'll never forget.

Red Bird, Red Bird

Fly to my right

Hope to see my fellow man

Before Saturday night

               Then you watch to see if the Red bird flies to your right.  It used to be rare to see a red bird.  Now, I have so many to watch, that I have a very good chance to see Mr. G before Saturday night.

Sharing at several Linky Parties.
