cardinals

You may recall that I blogged the cardinal nest on the back of my garage. I'm not sure if that nest was productive; the mom disappeared from it shortly after I took that pic.

I was very pleased to spot a dad feeding a chick yesterday afternoon. These are crummy pics, but they record successful fledging of a new cardinal. (I wish I'd thought to take the camera out of auto-focus, but I didn't think of it while the birds were still in sight.....)
