Cardinal update:
Two of the three chicks learned to fly today. They've left the third behind. He's in there, alone. Jason, Mom and I watched as the mother and father guided one of the chicks to safety after it's nest jump. It's really quite the sight. J got some great pics of it. I'll post them soon. The nest is empty so soon. I hope they stay in our yard. I feel so attached to all of them. The parents are so responsible and caring. What a good example they set.
Tomorrow morning, let's hope the third chick is gone. It's cold out tonight...and he doesn't have his siblings to keep him warm. That's the only thing I hate about nature. Survival of the fittest. If it dies in the nest, I'll have to bury it. Update tomorrow.
