Meet Our New Neighbors



Late in the spring, this pair of cardinals (bright red male, top, and dusty-rose colored female, bottom) took up residence in the tree in front of our house. I snapped these pictures one morning out the front window of our bedroom after I learned to whistle their call convincingly enough to get their attention. In the photos, they have their heads cocked towards me in recognition. What do they ask in return for this adorable entertainment? Lots of birdseed and the occasional walnut.
