Some things are going on right now that are stressful. It’s nice to walk outside and see stuff like this:

As I was getting ready to leave for work one day this week, I look over to see this buck walk from my side of the street to the yard across the street. We see deer quite often, but not a buck with a rack like this!

At the same time I look the other way and was able to see this cardinal and get a picture of him before he disappeared.

A little later in the day I got some good news about the stressful situation and I tend to tie these signs with events like that. It had been a few days since I had seen any cardinals. This particular morning I had seen a lot with as many as 6 on the ground under the feeder at the same time.
