A bright sight on this gray and rainy day... A male cardinal feeding his young offspring. This male is caring for two males and one female. Parents continue to feed chicks for 25 to 56 days after they fledge from the nest.
The young bird flutters its wings in food-begging fashion...
This Cardinal continues to feed his young even after they have grown almost as large as he.
What could be more heart warming than this sight on a dreary day...just outside my door.
