Family

On Thursday morning a family of cardinals was flitting around in the trees and bushes as I walked to work. Very briefly, dad and one of the others were on the ground, but then they took to the brush and trees. Their 'here I am' chirps echoed around me, making it sound as though there were dozens of them. I spotted dad in some flowers, then he flew across the path to a tree. Mom was moving around inside the same tall tree, while two - maybe three - juveniles flitted from tree to tree on both sides of the path. As always, though I could spot the others moving about, dad was the only one who really stood out for the camera - though the low light means all the shots are grainy.
