The "red bird" is a much loved, much photographed winter sight. I am seeing quite a few this year. They seem to love the crepe myrtle seeds. Here is a shot from my window yesterday (an overcast day).

ReplyDeleteI love the story about painting the bird on your wagon. What an industrious 6 year old!
