Northern Cardinal ( Male )
What goes ‘peck, bang, peck, bang, peck, bang’ ?
A bunch of chickens in a field full of balloons !
Interesting Fact: The male cardinal fiercely defends its breeding territory from other males. When a male sees its reflection in glass surfaces, it frequently will spend hours fighting the imaginary intruder. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Cardinal/lifehistory )

Which is exactly what a male Siamese Fighting fish does – even if it has never seen a real one it its life. This must indicate that the recognition of the visual image is genetically inherited. Interesting. Sally.

Can’t seem to drive that image out of my head now, and laugh with a bit of guilty pleasure at the image of the field of balloons scaring the dickens [or other crude excrement’s] out of those twitchy chickens. Not sure if I am delighted or just hungry.
The Cardinal is a lovely shot as well. 🙂
