“CARDINALS APPEAR WHEN ANGELS ARE NEAR”

Many people consider the sight of a cardinal to hold special meaning.

The Cardinal is considered a sign that loved ones who have died will live on as a memory alive in our hearts.

Vanover says in Birds&Blooms that the vibrant red bird is an uplifting, happy sign that as cardinals sing their pleasant song, people may recall cherished memories of better times. The beautiful birds are a reminder that loved ones will never truly be forgotten

Winter in Ohio, where I live, means many Cardinals on our birdfeeders. They stand out with their bright red feathers and crown on their heads. The females are not as flashy, being a fawn-brown, but are easy to spot since they also have crowns.

When we have snowfall like today in the picture I took, it’s hard to miss those neon red feathers in the trees and at the feeder.
