I was, just a little bit ago, looking out the front windows of the house and heard a lot of bird noise, high very squeeky stuff. So I went out on the porch, and a female Northern Cardinal flew out of the October Glory Maple, over to the Dogwood trees. The sound continued emmitting from the Maple though. I walked closer and closer, and finally spotted in the branches two fledged baby Cardinals. At that point the male Cardinal flew by and went to the rooftop of the house, so the babies followed him, then they flew out of sight.
Baby birds are so sweet, and some of them grow up to be the next generation of beautiful wild birds. Spring is a hopeful time!
