Baby cardinal at the feeder
Crying piteously to his parents
I’m still just a fledgling–I’m still not quite sure
Don’t leave me alone yet, the world’s a bit scary!

There actually was a baby cardinal out by one of the feeders today–just peeping for all he was worth–I’m still a baby! 🙂

/ May 25, 2011That’s so sweet. We have lots of birds around here, but I haven’t seen a cardinal. I love our gray mourning doves though. They’re a such a peaceful delight.
Enjoy your wonderful nature there in Florida. Have a fun day …

/ June 5, 2011I’ve seen three baby cardinals with their parents outside my bedroom window just about every afternoon for a couple of weeks now. They can fly but still need a little more supervision I guess. I love to watch them–they are very pretty.
