Dinnertime

A pair of cardinals made a nest in my hanging fern basket and hatched three eggs.
I am so honored. The use of the porch and surrounding area is off limits in order to give the birds the peace they deserve to raise these babies. It was almost impossible to get this photo from a faraway open window.

What a little blessing! I love Cardinals. Hope all 3 survive. I think they normally only have two.

Excellent in every way Coleen. them picking your porch and hanging basket to have their family, you giving them protection and space and a good family photo of the nest.

What a special event. They are such shy birds when nesting so you are being very kind to give them privacy.

Great capture, I've never even seen a Cardinal nest!
