I looooooove cardinals! :D Other people may take them for granted, but I never do. We had a holly tree (not a bush, a TREE, the thing was as big around as my leg and taller than the house) outside our house when I was a kid, and it attracted cardinals. They're territorial little things, but we had a couple pairs that would visit. They're my possibly-favorite native bird in terms of how pretty they are (the other being the blue jay, which is a GORGEOUS bird, even if they are noisy as fuck).

There's days -- isolated days -- where the spring weather is unspeakably lovely, but it's not a given thing. Now, FALL is BEAUTIFUL, because it doesn't come with the storms, and you tend to get more of those nice days together. From mid-September to early November is just wonderful. There's a couple of weeks where the trees are all turning where it's just gorgeous. We live in a really woodsy area, and Tulsa is overall a really tree-y city (when you fly over in an airplane, it's surprising that large chunks of land inside the city look like parkland, even though they are residential) so autumn can be really beautiful here.

I LOVE the cardinals and the blue jays. Noisy as both are. But they are so PRETTY! I'm happy that they inhabit my yard.
