    I always like seeing these guys. Being able to blend in but also to be so bold and imposing looking seems like a really tough combo to pull off.

      Yeah it’s an interesting evolutionary balance to have to strike. “Hiding yet also attractive to potential mates”

      Actually, as a human, I sympathize 😂

        I do regularly wonder how something like a cardinal avoids getting picked off. They’re pretty loud and stand out most anywhere. Doesn’t sound like a good survival combo, but they seem to make it work.

        I’ll just stick to hiding 😁
