Courting Cardinals........

So he has been with her all winter. At my feeder every day. So now, here comes Spring (he thinks) and he is courting her..........how sweet is that.

Every morning at 5.30 or so, he begins singing his heart out.

I have not seen them together since the bad weather at the middle part of winter. I see them both at the feeders but not together. So he must have to woo her each year once the babies have left.
