On the walk to the dining center, this Cardinal sat in his tree and sang to me (well probably not really to me, but I enjoyed the thought that he could be an official LWC greeter) most of the way back up the hill. Click here to listen to a recording of the Cardinal's music. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
