Conquering the Field

The redcoats overran the battlefield this morning.

Or so it appeared as I watched dozens of Cardinals plucking nutritional tidbits from the grassy areas in the center of the office complex today.

Marching twelve and more abreast with a single minded determination, the red breasted Cardinals drove sparrows and finches alike from the lawn.

As harbingers of pre-summer, the vast numbers of Cardinals did my heart good.  Despite that certain four letter "s" word being in the forecast, this morning's maneuvers by the red breasted avians is a sure sign that warmer temperatures are on the way.
