Baby



Every year we have Northern Cardinals take up residence in our Pine trees and raise a family. This photo is one of two babies I spotted today. It appears to be holding a Black Oil Sunflower seed in its mouth. Two days a go the babies were having a flying lesson near the feeder. I suppose they are now big enough to become regulars like their parents.

From this image I cannot tell if this bird will be a male or female, but as soon as it is mature enough it will be easy to tell.
