Cardinals!

Posted on | March 29, 2010 | 1 Comment

My NM came to me this morning very excited to let me know there’s a bird building a nest in the bushes right outside our front/school room window.

Wow!
almost a nest
(Sorry it’s blurry, it’s through a screen window)

We are so excited you have no idea.

At one point, I worried that I had scared her off with the camera. She had been flying off and returning with building materials every couple of minutes so when she was gone longer, it seemed as if she was spooked by the camera (and binoculars the boys had). That was one time I was happy to be wrong (certainly not the first time). She was never spooked by our staring at her or the boys’ noise coming from inside. That’s a good thing!

Come to find out that cardinals like to have flat areas to perch, eat spiders and nuts and weed seeds and like to nest in bushes.

It’s a treat and a blessing to be able to see this happen. Stay tuned…hoping to be able to report about more!
