My children have been getting a close-up view from their windows of a Cardinal family making its nest and raising its young. The Maple where their nest is is shaped like an umbrella--many leaves on the outside, but mostly branches and twigs within.

I could have used the Maple Leaf flag (for the Maple tree) or the Cardinal with this post--but decided on a Cardinal as a fitting icon.
