Yesterday, we had some unexpected house guests. After leaving the front door open for a few minutes, two red-crested cardinals flew into the house. I managed to herd the first one outside pretty quickly in the south end of the house, but the second one turned north and ended up flying around and bumping into several windows. I almost caught it, then it flew up into the loft space above the entryway where it stayed for about 10 minutes. It was pretty tired. When it left the loft, I was able to grab it with a towel and release it into the vegetation outside.
As it was recovering, it permitted me to take a close-up photo. This is another introduced species, native to from South America.
