The cardinal nestlings have changed noticeably in two days. I wasn't able to photograph them yesterday because it was chilly and rainy. Every time I looked, Mama Cardinal was on the nest, presumably keeping the babies warm. Today, the babies are darker and don't look quite so naked (see earlier photo). Still, they have a ways to go before they look like cardinals!

Hi Sage and Donna, thanks for your messages. Yes, these little birds are giving me much joy. Their peeping is getting quite loud. Stay tuned for more photos!
