So I was out rollerskiing...

I saw something so red fluttering in the underbrush next to the road that I thought it must be man-made. It was a red cardinal. The first I'd aver seen in person & I only knew what it was because of the baseball team. I understood why birding is such a big deal. Almost every guide book I've ever used has had a section on what birds you can find in that area. It was fun to spot a new bird and I can see why people might travel around looking for birds.
