It was Friday, April 17, 2020, according to the narrative published in a tweet.

On that day, Duval and St. Johns County were preparing to reopen their beaches for the first time.

The weather was finally clear after the rain had been hampering the area on and off for the last three days.

Traffic, the issue at hand for Lt. Gaden, was lite thanks to state and local stay-at-home orders.

That’s when a Northern Cardinal landed on the officer’s patrol car. The bird began to “talk”, or so Lt. Gaden described.

During the moment of reflection, Lt. Gaden said the little birdie and its singing brought a smile to his face with the realization:

The Sheriff’s Office posted about what happened on Twitter and Facebook.
