Morning Cards

Yes, cards as in cardinals! It's a beautiful, sunny day this morning. I've got a breeding pair of cardinals that love to sit in my trees and sing. So I decided to try and get a couple photos.

The male is a total ham



Yes, he wants you to see his "good" side too!



The female is much more skittish so this is the side she shows you.



LOL. Well, how dare her not turn around! The whole time I was out there she refused to turn around. That's ok, I'll capture her front side one of these days. Beautiful birds though. I love seeing them and their incredible red hue against the sky and trees.

Lovely, aren't they. They are so beautiful against the background of a sunny day. Although hey look great any time.

Ken forgot the Indigo Bunting we saw yesterday! Gorgeous! Have you seen the male cardinal feeding the female? They seem to do this when they're nesting. Pretty cool.

Haven't seen him feeding her. Right now he's stalking her and well, she nearly runs away! LOL It's funny to watch them.
