What kind of bird is this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0dZH-iKz48 ?  I found it on the beach in Pensacola Beach, Fl, and have seen them a few times.  They kind of flop up on the shore and just lay there like they are injured, but they aren't actually sick or injured at all.  Their legs are really far back too.

Not quite sure if this is the cardinal that you saw, but this is what I caught with my camera June 1, 2007. :)

Socrates wrote that the swan sung it’s most beautiful song just before it died, leaving us with the phrase “swan song”   Click Here for Cards and Prints of this image.
