During my morning walkabout, I spotted this cardinal perched in a creosote bush in the backyard. He sat there until I approached with an almond, which I tossed in his direction. I usually carry a few nuts to feed to the squirrels, so when I tossed the nut, to my surprise, the cardinal jumped out of the bush and scooped it up. He took it under the bush to peck at it or something.
