I'm not sure how many! And I, thankfully, haven't seen the skunks in a couple of weeks! They couldn't get up the trees into the feeders, but ate what was dropped to the ground. I still fill the feeders every day for the birdies!
yes, he was just as big as she was but still did that squawking and wing fluttering. She looked tired...and she was molting, which added to her disheveled look. ha.
Very sweet pics of Chapter Two! Guess what? I had a male cardinal flirt with me yesterday in my friend's garden. He came so close to me and sat in the bush chirping away. I could almost touch him. She was using my phone so I could not get a photo - plus he might have flown away if I moved. But I thought of you!
Love reading all about your Sunday (minus the swirling water) ... sent you a Google+ message (I think) .. this is like a foreign country I've never visited!
I like the first shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adam. I've been following the cardinal couple all year...fun stuff.
Deleteoh Betsy thats wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that so sweet? I could hear the baby chirping with the windows down! haha.
DeleteGreat shot of the baby feeding . . . . and an interesting continuation of the love story . . . . :)
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see the babies...have to keep the feeders full to help out mom!
DeleteHow many babies do you think?
DeleteWhat's happened to the skunks?
Didn't they raid the bird feeders?

ReplyDeleteAw...how sweet! Too bad you couldn't snap a photo!
DeleteSweet photos. It's so much fun to watch the interaction between parent and baby.
ReplyDeleteI always look when I hear that tell-tale sound of babies squawking. Very fun to watch!

Deleteto feed my big brood.
haha.
You have captured the moments nicely. Superb.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rajesh! Boy, trying to focus on a little bird through all those branches and twigs was crazy! ha.
DeleteThese are really sweet. It makes me think of our bluebirds where we used to live. (Where I live now, there's too many birds to keep track of them).
ReplyDeleteToo many birds? I can't imagine having such a problem!
DeleteThat's sweet!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I enjoyed watching them! Hard to photograph, though!
DeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to watch, too. I wonder if the dad was off feeding another!
DeleteAwwwwwwwwwwww, sweet!!! Such great photos of the family with all the green....and so well hidden. You did good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to I'd Rather B Birdin' this weekend...it's always appreciated!!
She did keep him hidden! But he was big enough to fly off a ways and a few times she had to call after him. Haha typical kid!
DeleteNice to see your Cardinals Betsy. Next instalment please.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what that next chapter will be! Too bad I missed the eggs in the nest.
DeleteFrom love story to much hard work! It's the same for us all.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth!
