More Babies

babycardinals-0713

Yesterday, H discovered we have another nest. This time, it's cardinals! Between the turkey (that is still wondering around our yard by the way), the robins, and now this, we feel like we have a little sanctuary going on. Interesting fact: we noticed the male cardinal was around the nest a lot so I did a little research. "The male cares for and feeds each brood as the female incubates the next clutch of eggs." And, "Pairs mate for life, and they stay together year-round." Isn't that crazy? Anyhow, they are so ugly they are cute. And man, are they loud!

Update:  07.22.13. Here they are a couple days later. Is it just me, or do these things grow like crazy? They are still so cute though, aren't they?
