I had read on the West Virginia list about some sightings of this phenomenon, but had not seen it myself until this morning.  As I went to my car this morning in Akron, there was a male Northern Cardinal chirping and flitting around basically unaffected by its head sans feathers.
   
  Some have said this is caused by a viral infection, some have said it is caused by a parasite...that was the discussion on that list.  Any thoughts on this?  It really resembles the head of a Turkey Vulture, totally void of feathers.

"Look at the birds..."  Matthew 6:26
   
    I look at the birds because I believe they will carry the messages of my heart upward to our Creator.   I look at them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day–the invocations and the benedictions to God Himself.  I look to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear.  And that God's eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me!
