That's so hard to avoid! I haven't yet had a huge plop from a pelican but I'm very close to the beach. That's another reason to keep water and paper towels in the car!
Luckily it was one of our rainy days so it more or less washed itself off.

Stood up on a stool to look closer, it was a female cardinal. Male was chasing her, she would be in one spot, he would come to that spot and she would jump to another. He would follow, and she would jump elsewhere.

It was pretty cute.
She was playing hard to get! They are beautiful birds and I never seen them in my neighborhood.

Aww, that's too bad. They are my favorites, so beautiful. We have a bunch of them.
One year I was able to watch a nest of hatchlings in "bird school" for days. It was very cute, the parents showing the babies how to find and catch things in the grass, etc.
Cardinals are among my favourites too - especially the youngsters. I love photographing the wee ones when their parents bring them around to my feeders.
Below is a pic of one of the fledglings on an early visit.

I was just about to say that. On recent walks I have seen lots of male birds trying to get the attention of picky females.
Saw one male bird chasing another male away from his turf - in flight. Fighter jets have got nothing on those flyers.
Yes on Cardinals.. why.......... because I am so cute when I pose for the camera.
