Sad today.



Well, I woke up this morning and went to see the third cardinal baby. He/she had died during the night. I was/am heartbroken. I cried all morning. I realize that this is how nature is, but I was so attached to the little family. Watching as eggs, to chicks and then to see them learning to fly. We keep trying to figure out what to do with the baby. I want to bury it. I'm not sure if the cardinals will use the nest again...maybe not. I see the parents flying around but haven't seen the two babies. I've been sad all day. I'll get over it.

The pics are of the dad and the second of the babies.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I get attached to birds that nest where I can see them and it really upsets me when they die.
