OMG, I can't believe you mentioned cardinals, I have been watching a bird drama involving cardinals all day. I discovered there's a nest in the Sego Palm that I was sure was done for after the icepocalypse in February, but no sooner had its leaves returned than I noticed there were two cardinals hanging around in it. Then I see these little bird mouths opening and closing, and yes, there are two babies! They both have feathers and I wondered when they would be ready to fly off into the world. Now, by golly, one of them has left the next and is sitting out on a palm leaf. But I do not see the other baby. I hope they are just following the natural order, but jeez, it's so hot out there. Mom and Dad Cardinal have been keeping a close eye from a nearby scrub and some patio furniture. I'm so worried the baby will try to fly and end up falling on the ground.. How am I supposed to concentrate on work when there's a matter of life and death happening right outside my window?
