The north side of our front yard is a certified National Wildlife Federation Backyard Habitat. Really! We have a certificate! You can do the same by providing food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young. It is so much fun to see all of the critters that stop by for a visit. I have a series of posts to show you our Garden Guests.
This female cardinal seems to be peeking under the branch!
Isn't she pretty? These photos were taken on a cold morning with a dusting of snow on the ground.
On shots like these, I always wonder if they are watching me.
What's happening in your back yard?

She is lovely, we have a pair of cardinals that live here too. It is always wonderful to see all the birds that visit our feeder. You took wonderful pictures.
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. The cardinal is my all time favorite bird! And the female is just as stunning as the male in my opinion with her silver gown studded in ruby red!!

ReplyDeleteI love your pictures. We have 2 birds feeders at our house and I love watching the birds. We have a pair of cardinals that comes to the one bird feeder and we seem to see the female cardinal a lot more than the male. Sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual beautiful bird. I feed as much wildlife as I can in the garden. I got a great photo of a squirrel the other day. x
