Perfect Pair

Sorry -- I'm not through with cardinals yet. I was, until I found this last night and decided that it was the perfect little bit of nonsense with which to thank all my blipper friends who delight me with their squirrel and bird (especially cardinals, of course) blips. How grateful I am to those who stalk the wild squirrels in the park, to those who "coach" and, yes, even assist the squirrels who live in their yards in doing cute things, and to those who lie in wait, hunched in uncomfortable positions out in the cold or heat, intent on capturing yet another beautiful bird or silly squirrel doing something positively adorable. Bruno, Sylvia, Seynmour, Dudley -- you know what I'm talking about and if you're paying attention, please continue to do your thing for anyone pointing a camera at you. And that goes for you birds too, although I know you're less enthusiastic about cooperating.

Merry Christmas and thank you all.
