That's very interesting info. It would be great, speaking for myself, if "Red" *would* stay in the area longer, because it sure has been fun seeing him on more than one occasion. As a matter of fact, one day last week, while stopping at the Post Office, I had a few extra minutes and thought I'd drive over to the Square and walk to the Veterans Memorial again and see if Red was around. It turns out I didn't have to drive over there at all, because as I was getting ready to pull out of the Post Office parking lot, I happened to glance straight across to the POW-MIA monument and saw that little redbird sitting on it! That made me laugh out loud! If you ever have a few moments when you stop by the Post Office, I'd be curious to know -- if you have the time -- whether you spot Red around that monument. Thanks a lot for the explanation, Doug. I was hoping you’d come to the rescue, Doug! That’s very interesting info.

Thanks a lot for the explanation, Doug.

This time of year they stake out territories for nesting and raising young. You can often see them chasing other male Cardinals out of their area. If he's successful in finding a mate and making a nest, he'll probably hang around the area for the rest of the spring. You can hear their songs everywhere this time of year. The singing is another way to declare their territory. This is a male Northern Cardinal. This time of year they stake out territories for nesting and raising young.

Look at that expression~like a wise old bird. You did a great job on this and sounds like he will be waiting on you from now on. I think you have found a new friend. Polly Love the top picture!
