So today I'm watching the nest outside our kitchen window and I notice that the mother cardinal has flown away.
I'm hoping that her eggs have hatched and she's out picking up dinner for her new family. I was able to peek inside her nest while she was away and snap two fast pictures:
There were two eggs and now you can see two things in this nest. The strange thing is that one baby is much larger than the other. But if you
click here and take a look at the eggs, you will see that one is almost twice the size of the other. I did not see the larger baby move, but the smaller one was flapping it's wings and opening it's beak as if I were it's mother feeding it.
They are 1-2 days old (I checked the nest 2 days ago and the eggs hadn't hatched yet.)
I love this time of year and the beautiful animals we get to see! You will be seeing more photos as they develop!
