    That red breasted cardinal is just stunning! It looks at home with its exotic coloration to be in Hawaii! Cute little pup, too.

    That Cardinal is a delight as is the pup - I would throw the ball all day for it! ;-)

    I should probably Google this instead, but I’ll just ask you. Was the cardinal named after Cardinals or was it the other way around? Or do they have nothing to do with eachother at all?

    I believe the bird was around before the bull Club but don't quote me on that. Thanks for visiting everybody
