Dig it out and cook.
Our Magma gas grill is out on the deck, uncovered (but shoveled out). Our local cardinal has found that if he stands on the mini-table next to the grill, he can see his reflection in the side. He'll spend quite some time attacking his reflection. When he gives up, he flies to our neighbors driveway where he proceeds to attack his reflection in the side view mirror of our neighbors sedan. My only worry is that he'll drive himself off and leave us without our cardinal family. Should I cover the grill?
