According to it, it is apparently a "pretty bird." But I'm pretty sure it's lying, because I have four cardinals who feed in my backyard and they outshine this thing by acres.** But then, so do the junebugs that kamikaze into our windows at night, the cicadas who screech in the darkness, and the dead squirrel I saw this morning in the park. (**I'd say the cardinals "put it to shame," but who am I kidding? It has no shame.)
