I think this is a juvenile cardinal. It was being monitored by an adult so I felt nudged in the direction of the juvenile label.
This isn't, but storks herons and ibis in the water always appeal to my lense.
Despite my aversion to sunset and sunrise cliches I cannot from time to time resist.
He was under the weather that day so I took him where there was grass and we hung around outdoors together. He likes grass and doesn't get to lay in it as much as he'd like.

Sprained dog hops into frame. We were moving slowly, me trying not to trip on he vines, him favoring an aching limb.
Then he had to rest his leg which he had Ztwisted in a moment of inattention.

Green heron. I think.
Brown dog. I'm pretty sure.

I meant to focus on the tree and made a mess, focusing on the humans who interest me less than things natural..

After a doze or more years working nights tomorrow I start at six am for an unspecified amount of time. I have been too long a night bird they say. I was happy there I shall be happy doing days . I have no choice. For the good of the agency.

Good luck with the time change! How to get jet lagged without getting on a jet. 😉
Rusty is going to have to adjust his schedule too. Good luck. Might take a week or two to get into the groove of the day shift. Different types of 911 calls too. Best, Michigan.

especially enjoyed the pictures today. rainy and cool here in the burbs of Chicago but makes everything shiny and green. Days will be a change but more like the rest of us so that can't be all bad.
On the bright side, the new schedule will get you adjusted for retirement. Or not.
Sorry to hear 'brown dog' tweaked his leg.
Hope your day shift is as much "fun" as your night shifts. Hopefully the sunshine doesn't melt you! :cD
My wife has set me up with a thermal tea pot and powdered milk such as we used to drink when boat traveling. That and atmea means I face the day with equanimity. And I am not training new dispatchers anymore. score.
Hi There. It may not be a Juvenile Cardinal. Probably a female. The male (much more brightly colored) always monitors his mate, usually from a perch higher up so he can watch out for danger. The female has more dusky and muted colors to blend in and not be a target. After all, she has the responsibility of caring for the future generations.
That sounds exactly what I saw. Thanks
