One of the most beautiful sights
in winter is to see a male northern cardinal set against the snow and gray days.
Often these birds are gregarious, populating our birdfeeders and sitting in trees
seemingly waiting for the spring. Some people believe that cardinals are signs
from the next life that someone is thinking and watching over you. It was the inspiration
of Kasey Musgraves’s song “Cardinal”
after the passing of her friend and mentor John Prine. Amid the gloom of deep
winter, one can understand how people can come to that conclusion.
