Crazy Cardinals


I got a phonecall from my husband while I was working one day. He was ranting and raving about being woke up all morning by an obnoxious tapping noise.

He had been yelling at the dogs and finally decided to get up to give them their final judgement when he discovered it was not the dogs making the ruckous.

A female cardinal had discovered our backdoor. She had perched herself and was "knocking" all morning. After documenting the proof you see to the right, Jacob decided to let our dogs out to run her off.

Once she saw both dogs were satisfactorily side tracked she returned to her post and resumed "knocking". This continued for about three days.

When I shared the story with my Mother-in-law she said "she must be crazy".
