Cardinals

Today I saw the cardinal couple on the lakeside of my yard. They were very skittish but the male came back several times. I hope to see more of them now that the weather is getting colder.

 

It was fun to see all the new postings, although I was sad to read the spring and summer posts and realize what we are facing for the next few months. Thanks, Alma, for the picture of the goldfinch and pine siskin. They both come to the feeders and I get them mixed up.

This was taken from our living room window.  We have had lots of siskins around lately.

Red Breasted Nuthatch

This Red Breasted Nuthatch dazed itself on our patio door but soon flew away.

Young Cardinal

This young cardinal was raised in the rafters of my pole shed. He
made a wrong turn as he left the nest and ended up in my shop. My
bird dog and I spotted him about the same time. I caught the bird
first, took a quick photo and the last I saw of him he was fluttering
away into the pines.
