Cardinals.............

One of my most faithful visitors all year round is the Cardinal. We have at least two pair who visit frequently. I happen to like the female most as she is a lovely combination of yellow and red. Mr Cardinal is that beautiful red, but as bright as he is, he is quite plain besides her. This is a picture I took a couple of years ago

Mr C was a bit chilly it seems. See how pretty she is? Well they have nested around here for several generations. I doubt its the same couple but their kids and their kids are certainly thriving. We keep the feeders full all year. I just dont keep the tables full.

Mr C shows up very pretty against the snow and pines. Mrs C always looks good. I just love her colours.

One time we had two couples come in. The two Mr Cs were a bit iffy about it but the ladies just got down to chowing down.

Anyway, they are beautiful birds and brighten up the winter days
