Today is Rednesday over at, It's A Very Cherry World, stop by and visit with all of our red lovers by clicking here...
Today my post is about some pictures I made on New Year's Day on my patio, it was so cold, a warm 23 degrees at 7 AM...brrrrrr...We all know if it is cold then you can expect to see Red Birds or as my Granddaughter like to correct me and say Cardinals...I was fasinated with how close these birds came to my sliding glass door...
This one found some grass seeds left over from the planting of food plots, on DH's 4 wheeler trailer
one of the many female Cardinals that was hunting something to eat...silly birds won't go to the feeders for some reason...maybe they are saving them till nothing is available on the ground...and of course DH spilled a little seed on the patio as usual, on purpose...lol..he loves to watch and see just how close they will come to the door....
you just can see this male Cardinal behind the wire Rooster...he got pretty close....
It's almost like he's thinking Woo now that's a big guy"
These are a little blurry because I had to take them through the sliding glass door, when I tried to open it or go out the other door and get better pictures they flew away..
OH look, here comes his mate, she wants what ever he has found...
I am also starting a new Grateful challenge today, that I found @ Digging in the Dirt
Suzie challenges her readers to name 1 thing on each post that we are grateful for....
I am Grateful for my eyes, that I may see the Glory of God's beautiful world. For with out them, I couldn't see the beauty of the Red Birds.
Your new little buddies are so sweet. We don't have cardinals in our part of the country - or at least we haven't seen one - ever. I hope you are able to stay warm and cozy.
ReplyDeleteAwww what a sweet little pair of cardinals! I LOVE birds!
ReplyDeleteMolly, I love your RED cardinal photos...they are a very striking bird aren't they? I don't think we have any in Australia, if they do, I have never seen them...lots of lovely red parrots though.

Great pictures of the red birds. I don't call them cardinal's either.
ReplyDeleteI need to put out some bird feed this afternoon!
Such wonderful pictures of the birdies, Molly! I love watching the birds, and I've tried so many times to get a good picture of them, but it never works for me. I love the expression of the male cardinal looking at that huge rooster. Priceless!
ReplyDeleteHappy REDnesday!

Oh Molly, we called them Redbirds, too...we used to say they sure were pretty but they had no sense to fly from our durned cats...my mother would take a broom to a cat she caught stalking redbirds -- just sweep at them, didn't hurt them -- they like apple and orange slices and will eat hulled sunflower, I believe...
ReplyDeleteCardinals are so beautiful! Especially in the winter when there isn't much colour! I have never seen one in real life! Only pictures! Hope you are having a great Rednesday! Sherri : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet couple. It's so cute how they checked out the rooster!

I love the Cardinals, too! They're my favorite at the feeder, except when the Goldfinches change color. My kids think it "weird" that I stop and watch them all the time!
