"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Birds in the NFL: Arizona Cardinals
As you can see, I got his beak a little bit too long, but you get the idea. Doodled from Birds of North America.
There's another cardinal-like bird, called Pyrrhuloxia (Cardinalis sinuatus), that's nicknamed "the Arizona Cardinal," but his mask is red and his head is gray... so not the Cardinalis cardinalis of the Arizona Cardinals logo. I'll do a drawing of this guy soon. I've tried a couple of doodles and I've been unable to get him right.
