The Things We Leave Behind

I found this female cardinal in our backyard a few days after her nest had been raided by Blue Jays.
It was a heartbreaking scene. I watched her and her mate build that nest and care for their eggs all spring.
He called for her for days after I found her.
I decided to immortalize her in this piece with the remnants of that nest as a reminder of the things we leave behind.
