I always have a cardinal couple flying around my yard- all year long! I think cardinals mate for life? Chime in you bird lovers.
Here's the big guy atop the Kousa dogwood in my front yard taken a week ago. THe buds were just barely out. Can't wait for the blooms, but that will be for a future treetuesday!
Okay, I have to admit, this is NOT a great picture....it was certainly a fleeting moment...
