There is a cardinal in the tree branches poking into the porch. She's peeping loudly and staring at Perrine, who is in turn staring out the back door, through the screen. I didn't see or hear her until her mate called out first; he moved farther away from the door, and she came in and started making lots of noise. (Admittedly, he's a lot easier to spot than she is, but I saw where she moved in from, and yes, she had been farther away.)

I wonder how close I can get with a camera. I'd like to get a shot without the screen door in the way, but I don't think that's going to happen.

Ever since the first time I saw Jurassic Park, I think of cardinals as small transistorized T-Rexes. Same head movements. Just a little scary.

They can be pretty bold sometimes, but they move fast when startled.
