Cardinals

I heard a lot of cardinal commotion on the way home from the store on Monday. I suspected shenanigans, as I saw there was at least two males and one lady involved. Later on, I noticed that the issue was that a little cardinal (too young to fly) was out of the nest.




I considered trying to catch the youngster, but I didn't think there was a chance I'd be successful at rearing it. So all I'd do was give mom and dad heart attacks while confirming all of their worst suspicions re: humans.

The picture below is one I took earlier in the month (unfortunately, the beak/forehead area is a little out of focus).

Cardinals don't like letting you take their picture.
