Cardinals

Since I was really excited about today (and really exhausted from yesterday), I woke up at 5am this morning and began my hour and a half of physical hell earlier than usual. When I was through, I enjoyed a nice, pre-dawn walk with Zoey through the park.

The sky was a few beautiful shades of purple, and the air was filled with sounds of birds chirping. The most noticable of them was that of a cardinal sitting at the top of a tree right at the beginning of our walk. With his bold colors and shrill cry, he was seriously on the prowl.

A little further down the path was another cardinal. Same deal: top of a tree, tweeting his head off, presumably looking for action. Well, it's springtime. Everyone should be datin' and matin' (but if they're human, not procreatin').

And further still, a third cardinal had strategically placed himself at the top of yet another tree, announcing his availability to the world. So I began to wonder about the population of female cardinals in my neighborhood. I was also thinking that they may have better luck if they join forces and go cruisin' for chicks together like guys do when they go to bars in hopes of jocking some random drunk sluts. But if adult male cardinals go cruisin for chicks, does that make them pedophiles?
