Of course I have no way of knowing for sure if the cardinals I see every spring are the same two birds, but I like to think so. I love their chirpy little voices, and the flash of brilliant scarlet from the male. I haven’t seen a nest, but in my jungle-like back yard, it would be well hidden.
Although I miss my kitties, there is this one advantage of no longer entertaining feral cats…no worry about the nestlings.
Redbirds (as my Kentucky-bred mother called them) remind me of living in Ohio as a child. And an image of a bright red bird against snow… although I thought they flew south for the winter? But there it is, a mental picture I cannot deny.
What birds have you seen in your backyard this spring?
