  32. A perfectly festive post to celebrate the occasion! My eyes may be deceiving me, but the cardinal's beak seems to indicate that he partied a little too hearty -- is that a broken tip I spy? I thought it was a seed at first, but now I'm not so sure.

    1. You are very observant, Linda. It is indeed a broken tip. I had not noticed it and assumed it was food.

  47. Hello dear David and Miriam,
    Christmas is over and I hope you had a few lovely days. I had a little bit of trouble with this Christmas season and was quite emotional about the people I missed.
    I really love your cardinal in the picture and that makes me happy :-)))))
    Did you still receive our Christmas card by post? Was already sent on December 8 so I hope it has arrived.

    Let's hope the new year 2021 will be better for us and we can get rid of the virus.
    A big hug and kiss from the Netherlands.
