Cardinals

We're seeing a lot of cardinals this year.

Yesterday, we were at the dining room table when I noticed a female cardinal at the top of a tree, and near the lowest branch, a male. The male was slowly ascending, one branch at a time. When he got about two thirds of the way up, the female flew off -- and then so did he. Last night, both of them alit on our deck railing and just sat there for about five minutes before taking off again. This afternoon, I saw a male while I was out for a walk. No females in sight, though.

Pretty neat.

Where are the pictures, Mr.I bought a nice camera?
It will probable be a booming year for that species next year. ...or maybe the weather will be getting harsher. Nature tries to compensate when it can.
