Figs for dessert

Following our dessert, we noticed a some cardinals enjoying theirs. When we inspected, we found that they had accounted for at least two of the biggest and ripest figs on the tree. In the past, we've observed squirrels, jays, and grackles feasting on them, but never cardinals. Ours are green-skinned and the contents inside are pink. RH always asked for them so that she could make preserves, and some years she even beat the creatures to them.
