This sounds like the title to a really bad mystery novel, but really, I just wanted to post a shot of a female cardinal. I don't think most people notice them very often. I've thrown in a shot of a male cardinal too because, well, I kind of like the way this guy looks.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Even though you can see bird seed in the top shot you really should not feed birds. The bird seed was thrown by someone else, i.e. not by me.
