Relaxing in an old wooden rocker on the back porch at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary to keep out of the rain, I kept hearing a continuous chit-chit-chit call.

I peeked over the balcony and discovered this sweet female Northern Cardinal hopping about in a steady light drizzle atop a small stone fountain.

I’m pretty sure she was saying, “Hey, what’s going on?? Is it actually raining, or is that just the fountain I hear??”
