Squawk Box

Cardinals can be noisy when they are beckoning their mates (or buddies) to join them.  This fellow sat motionless (except fo flapping his beak) for a good five minutes squawking for someone, anyone, to come.
They didn't.
He left.
(Sorry for the quality of the photo. I couldn't seem to get the camera to focus on anything but the forward whips.)
