Look for TOTALLY BALD Cardinals, both male AND female, as well as TOTALLY BALD Blue Jays. They are HILARIOUS (as well as creepy-looking). It is normal appearance at this time of year and in a few weeks they will be prettier than ever. Kingdoms RAGE and go to war...but the PEasants plant potatoes.. EARTH FIRST!
