Today along Ontario Pathways near Phelps, NY, I watched as a male and
female cardinal appeared to be dining on cherry blossoms. I couldn't tell
if they were eating them or were after the nectar. They didn't seem to keep
a blossom in their bills long enough to be eating them. But they were
certainly
Bluebirds are nesting again in a nest box across the loop road from my cottage
here at Kendal. They nested there earlier this summer.
I saw the male take away a fecal sac 2-3 days ago & my neighbor, Nelly Farnham,
& I see the parents bringing insects to the box. I saw the female with a big
bug
A pair of cardinals currently is feeding young in a large spirea bush
just outside our kitchen window. Nest construction began 8/5, completed
8/6, incubation underway by 8/10. At least one nestling had hatched by
last Tuesday (8/23) when at different times each parent was observed
feeding it/
Twice this afternoon a female Northern Cardinal flew toward my birdfeeder
carrying a substantial white object in her bill. Both times the cargo was a
fecal sac, which she dropped where I could see it clearly when she perched a
couple feet away from the feeder before she perched on the feeder and

Folks - a question.
Today I watched a male Cardinal in a cherry tree. He was picking at the
blossoms, putting them in his mouth, then quickly discarding them. He was
grabbing them from the stem end and not the blossom end. He was doing it
for quite some time. The path beneath the trees was covered
There are a few male cardinals in my neighborhood that are calling incessantly
I assume for a mate
for a second nesting. Do they pick a new mate for each nesting or is there
something else going on.?

Last few days when I wake up or open my eyes, I hear cardinal singing. I don't
know if I get up to the song of cardinal or we by chance both get up at the
same time.
Today in addition to the cardinal there was Tufted Titmouse singing. When I
looked out of the window, I saw lots of activities of
I just took several pictures of a male Cardinal eating snow with his beak
covered, very cute. He did this several times and would then scrape it clean
and start all over again.

Hi all,
I just watched cardinals eating snow. First, I saw a male cardinal on the
snow, I thought he looked very cute so I was praising his beauty. Then I
thought may be snow is too deep for him get up. Just then he started eating
snow. When he face was up, his beak was covered with snow. So
The beauty of the red Cardinals was very present today as we counted 17
(!!) Cardinals at our feeders in the early afternoon. There were at
least 11 males, but the way they all kept flitting about, it was sort of
difficult to count. What a gorgeous sight!
