"I'm molting! I'm molting," a
cardinal told me when I saw him in
Central Park the other
Sunday (it was a very hot day). His words made me think of The Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton seen in the image below) from
The Wizard of Oz, ultimately saying, "I'm melting! I'm melting!"
But the cardinal was far from wicked, for even though he was molting and it was very hot, he pecked at seeds that had fallen on a rock in order to feed them to his fledging!
As you know, dear reader, cardinals are featured in my book series,
Words In Our Beak.
