Oh the joy!!!
Oh, how
I love to see a cardinal in our yard!
I can't
take my eyes off this little guy! He's really so beautiful, I mean handsome!
Finicky guy! Been around Fred toooo long.
Another beautiful thing about them, their sweet whistles!
Nothing
like hearing one of the
first sounds of a morning!
Have you ever noticed that they usually sit hunched over with their tails pointed down?
Love this shot!
Male cardinals are such a brilliant red! Look at his a reddish bill and black face immediately around the bill. Looks like a circle around his nose!
No not Zorro! He thinks so.

Knows I'm looking at him! Thinks he's invisible! Has to get ready. Too cute~
Now look at this proud cardinal!
Posing and belting out a beautiful song!
Yes, yes, handsome boy, I got the shot!
Thinks he's modeling for a bird magazine shoot~
Autographs...next.
You watch!

Now this little guy, smart as a whip!
Low is good.
YES, birdseed on the ground!

Fred has been around!
Oh Fred!!!
We are on our 4th bird feeder now! Fred know's how to break into them!
Seriously, Fred is one lucky guy!
If he weren't so cute, I'd shoo him away!
It's fun to eat upside down and hanging on for dear life!
Oh Fred...
You Bird Feeder Hugger!

Oh you would love the Cardinals around here!
ReplyDeleteWe have grape vines along the pool fence. They attract Japanese beetles. And Cardinals love to eat Japanese beetles!!!!!!!
And they chirp as they eat 'em. We really don't know how they chirp non stop, and eat non stop, at the same time. But we love it!!!!

So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe love to hear and watch them too! Seems I get the feeder full, turn around twice and it is empty again....hungry little fellows!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the cardinal! Isn't it a vibrant color!
ReplyDeleteFred is a great acrobat too!
Fun post!
Hello Nancy, I love your pretty Cardinal too! I do hear them singing later in the evening and early morning. They are so chipper! Now, Fred is a different story, they do hog the feeders. Great fence shots, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThe caardinal is a lovely bird aandit is lovely tosee in your garden andon the fence.
ReplyDeleteNancy, Cardinals are my favorite. We have one in our backyard that I love to watch.
ReplyDeleteYours is so cute!

I wish I could get more bird shots. But here at the apartment, as soon as I open the patio door to go out, they fly away!

Gorgeous and Handsome Nancy, it is rare we see a Cardinal in Philly.
ReplyDeletelaughing at fred. :) i like to see the cardinals around here, too. :)
ReplyDeleteYour cardinal shots are really nice and of course who could resist Fred. - Nicely done with your fence in the background.
ReplyDeleteYour cardinal is beautiful. I wish that we had them here, but we don't. I really enjoyed your pictures.

Nancy, it is my dream to one day see the red cardinal up close. We don't see them around here. I love these pictures you have taken of him. Yes, his head of feathers IS a bright red! Oh, this must have been a sight for you to walk in your back yard and see this wonderful bird.
ReplyDeleteFred is being very mischievous. : )

He is beautiful. I have a set of cardinals and they do sing so pretty. I have a Fred too and it amazes me the positions they can get into to get in the feeders! I think all squirrels could be Yoga instructors!

Oh dear Nancy, that is one BEAUTIFUL Cardinal:) You really got some great pictures! Fred is hanging on for dear life:) Have a wonderful evening my friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteCardinals are really beautiful birds and you got great shots of them!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing cardinals. They are regal aren't they! Fred wouldn't be so welcome here but he is cute!
ReplyDeleteCardinals, with their bold, bright and beautiful red coats are definitely attention seekers, and this feisty fellow sure got yours! Thanks for the great pics, Nancy. Have a wonderful labour day weekend~!
ReplyDeletePoppy
teeehee.....I wonder. Could this be a Frederica? I don't see the OBVIOUS body parts that are usually VERY present in a FRED...teeeheheee.....I took a photo of a squirrel the other day and he stood still for me. I was thrilled to get that photo processed and when I did, it was a perfect shot except that HE WAS NAKED and he needed to put on some underwear, if ya know what I MEAN! teeheheheeeee WHoever this is has the cutest whitest belly.
ReplyDeleteHave FUN NANCY!
Nancy,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Cardinal photos, dear friend!!!
I must say. . .I enjoy seeing photos of Fred, too!!!
Enjoy their combined 'antics' at the bird feeder!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Oh, Nancy, I love cardinals. They are one of the things I miss most living here in the western mountains. When I lived in Ohio they visited often and called to each other. I enjoyed their song -- so soothing. Hope you're having a nice holiday weekend. xo ~ Nancy
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy this darling post brought a big smile to my face. I too enjoy both my cardinal couple and a few pesky squirrels.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Labor Day and a wonderful week!
I enjoyed your Cardinal and Squirrel Fred joy . . .
ReplyDelete(I think happier about mr and mrs cardinal than your friend FRED!)
