Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary
Southwestern Florida
USA
Cardinal photographed on the handrail of the boardwalk thru the swamp.
The Northern Cardinal is widespread and abundant, having expanded its range over the last century or more. Current numbers stable.
Family – Cardinals, Grosbeaks, and Buntings
Habitat - Woodland edges, thickets, suburban gardens, towns, desert washes. Found in a wide variety of brushy or semi-open habitats in the East, from forest clearings and swamps to city parks, almost wherever there are some dense bushes for nesting. In the Southwest, more local; occurs in tall brush, streamside thickets, groves of mesquites in desert.
One of our most popular birds, the Cardinal is the official state bird of no fewer than seven eastern states. Abundant in the Southeast, it has been extending its range northward for decades, and it now brightens winter days with its color and its whistled song as far north as southeastern Canada. West of the Great Plains, the Cardinal is mostly absent, but it is locally common in the desert Southwest.
Forages mostly while hopping on ground or in low bushes, sometimes higher in trees. Readily comes to bird feeders, where it favors sunflower seeds.
Mostly seeds, insects, berries. Diet is quite varied. Feeds on many insects, including beetles, true bugs, grasshoppers, caterpillars, ants, flies, and many others, also spiders, centipedes, and snails. Most of diet is vegetable matter.Young are fed mostly insects.

Cardinal photographed from the birding tower at the reserve. He was hard at work flitting around in the bush eating berries.
The cardinals are a symbol of faith and warmth with their bright red color in the dreary days of winter, during which time Christmas comes. Their red color is also a symbol or reminder of blood Jesus Christ shed for us on the cross. That's why the cardinal is so often seen on Christmas cards and as decorations on trees, wreaths, and garlands as well as painted on shop windows in winter or Christmas scenes.

Fallopian tube removed because of ectopic pregnancy. The patient denies any previous surgical procedures.
The reason for the presence of this vegetable material in the fallopian tube is undetermined. It might have come from a perforation of the GI tract, although there is nothing in the history to support that. Another possibility is that that the material is a contaminant that has been embedded in the tissue during processing.
Plant material similar to this has been identified as tomato peel, and other examples can be seen in this Atlas, so we believe it is the peel of a tomato or another similar fruit.
Another possibility is that this material corresponds to the episperm, which is a layer of 1-2 rigid cells that covers seeds. In some seeds there is a more rigid outer shell, which in deeper sections (2nd photo) appears as a dense eosinophilic material in the center.

Bacteria feasting on vegetable matter trapped in tonsilar crypt.
In this tonsillar crypt you can see a fragment of plant food material, which is serving as food for bacterial colonies that have formed around it.

I know, it's a little weird, but I intentionally hung on to our jack-o-lanterns for a little while, to watch them wither. They look much creepier this way. But their time has come.
The area is characterized by foreground amassments of brown vegetable matter.

This vegetable matter was seen in this cervical biopsy, for which no explanation was found. A rectovaginal fistula was suggested as a possible origin, but since no accompanying inflammation was found, it was considered more plausible that it was introduced by the patient herself.

Not everything needs to look nice, and it struck me that this has a bunch of textures to marvel at. Quite colourful, too

An elderly patient presented with perforated diverticulitis, with this curious finding in the inflamed serosal layer (last 2 photos). It is the partially digested skin of a tomato, as this cellulose cuticle is difficult for humans to digest. The first three photos above show, for comparison, tomato sections where the cuticle and the pulp with all their cells can be seen.
