An Omen

[RedRob]

Just getting to walk out the door to go to our first home game of the year (I know it's only pre-season) and guess what was in my yard?

A beautiful red male Cardinal. I heard him singing from inside the house, at first I thought my neighbor was playing a trick on me as he knows I'm a die hard. But to my amazement it was the real deal.

Hard to believe as I've lived here for 6 years now (Scottsdale) and have never seen a Cardinal in the valley. I've seen several in Southern Arizona but in my own back yard?

To see a cardinal in my own back yard as I'm walking out the door to the first game can only mean great things this season.

Awesome. Omen for sure

Did that little red male Cardinal have a white #81 on his back?

I had a male/female pair show up in my back yard this offseason. They are still around.

Yeah, Cardinals usually stick around until October.



Maybe this is the year they are around until February.

Hey Rob, take any Texan's fans to the game today?

I saw the same thing.

The scary thing is that a steer came into the yard and ate the bird.

Did the steer at least choke on its ill-gotten meal?

Serious note....where do they go from there? And why would they leave in October. sound like they have it backwards?

I just meant the team, I have no idea how the birds behave or where they go or when. I'm no birdologist to use the technical term.

What he said. My weakness for bad metaphors has struck again.

Saw one a couple of months ago at work, McDonald and the 101. It was super cool.

So, seeing a cardinal in your backyard before a game is really not a good sign...

Now he has to bury a dead Cardinal in his backyard.

The cow said, "Cardinal, it's what's for dinner!"
