I finally got pictures of him yesterday. His name is Ramón. Why Ramón? Well, it's a long story...

If these pictures are blurry, you may need glasses.

OMG! Ramon is soooo pretty! I can't believe I've never seen one. Back to Boston for me.

Your sig pic is swan-ky, too, NA.

(I had to post that lame joke for everyone to experience, NA.)

Swan-ky. I slay me.

SWAN-ky is pretty damn funny, if you ask me!

Cardinals mate for life. Any sign of a mate anywhere around?

Really?

Even the St. Louis kind?? 'Cause I could definitely see me with one of those..

Sigh. Something tells me they only mate after a post ninth-inning pitcher of beer. Oh, well.

Bee-youuu-tiful birdy, GC!! He's absolutely stunning! I wish we had birdies like that in my trees! Not that I don't love the little birdies we have.

She's around. She's brown and they go almost everywhere together. I tried to get a shot of her, too, but she zoomed away before I took the shot. Oh well. Her name's Roberta.

Very handsome birdy, GC! I wanted to see one when we were back in Ohio, but nada. We have your basic robin type birds, and loads of wild game and such, but nothing so colorful.

I only have doves that keep trying to nest, I need a pellet gun.

Did you hear that the pope got the Asian bird flu?
