The Red Cardinals

Flock of Red Cardinals
Visit bird bath 
Only small amount of water
No rain for weeks
One eats Rudbeckia seeds

For a rather short write, it conveys a lot of quality descriptiveness. Good write as usual Sara.

Based on all the bad weather I guess there is no shortage of water for the bath now. Thanks for descriptive Poem, I may now decide to look a little closer the next time I see a bird.

Loved it, The cardinal is one of my favorite birds. Funny that in nature the male bird is dressed so flamboyantly and the female is rather dull in plummage. The exact opposite for us humans.

A beautiful looking bird and I know my mom puts seed and water out for the birds all year long. There is a number of different birds so nice to sit and watch what comes in to eat. Enjoyed this poem today. Happy Halloween. love phyl
