Mother Cardinal on Nest Duty
This female Northern Cardinal is a devoted, dutiful mother. Her eggs just hatched so now she’s extremely busy, not only sitting in the nest to keep them warm but also making numerous trips to hunt for food for her hungry babies. Father Cardinal does his part, supplying worms, grubs, caterpillars to both mother and children. It’s a joy watching the drama unfold from my little hiding place near the rose bush where the Cardinal family has set up housekeeping.

You are lucky to get good views, Bonnie. Some birds really like to hide/nest
amongst the foliage! What a lovely little family. And of course, our seasons
are in reverse so I will have to enjoy ‘your’ babies for now :-)

This family of 4 don’t know how safe and sound they are, being watched by you. Or, maybe they do…. She’s beautiful, as you are… for capturing such lovely images.
