Location: Fellsmere, my houseI am a female Northern Cardinal,
I'm giving myself a bath
In the springtime I'll defend my territory
Stay away or you'll feel birdie wrath!
Note: A few minutes after I took this photo, I watched this bird whomp a Worm-eating Warbler for venturing too close to her nest. If you aren't familiar with Worm-eating Warblers, tune in Saturday when that bird will be featured. (Just so you don't worry, the warbler was unscathed and both birds came out of the skirmish fine.)
