Every summer the bluebirds raise a family in one of my nesting boxes. Last summer I had a cardinal that often sat atop the bluebird’s box. The bluebirds didn’t mind one bit!
Category 6: Cardinals and Friends
Anybody home?
What a cheerful thing to have in your yard.
As if the cardinal was posing for the picture! Nice!
This cardinal holds a striking pose with crisp color and definition defining his surroundings. This photo has a beautiful and serene feeling.
