GOD'S CARDINAL BIRD CREATURES

Maybe I over did it with the Cardinal pictures, but I had been trying to get pictures of those Cardinals for weeks.  Finally, one day, they let me take pictures.  A couple of days later, I was able to do it again.  I think the first seven pictures are of the lady Cardinal and the rest of the man Cardinal.  Now the next bird I want to get pictures of is the Blue Jay.

Camera shy? Task accomplished through persistence! Now, bring on the Jays! Blessings, Marilyn. Carol

Good Morning Marilyn! I love when the cardinals return to our bird feeders. We don't too often get the male and female together. Thank you for sharing the pictures. Have a wonderful day. Cathy in Webster

The bright red one is the male, the female is the dull colored one - that helps her to stay hidden when on the nest.

Good Morning Carol,
You are right, it took persistence, but I got them. I am waiting for the jays.

Blessing to you and yours,
Marilyn

Good Morning Cathy,
I got the female in one set of pictures and the male in the other. Love to sit and watch them eat and fly around. You are most welcome for the pictures. Hope you have a wonderful day, too,
Marilyn

Good morning, Marilyn. I get a lot of birds at my house, but no cardinals. I love the red against the snow. Thank you for sharing!

Good Morning Angela,
Like you, we get a lot of birds here, but the Cardinals don't show up very often. Also agree, I love the red against the snow. They really stand out.

You are most welcome. So glad you enjoy them.

Hi Marilyn, my attention span is so short that taking pictures of birds is not for me. I'm better at taking shots of red barns than red birds. Cardinals are so beautiful. Tom The Backroads Traveller

Good Morning Ingrid,

Today is NOT my birthday. It is my Mother's Birthday, if she were still here. But thank you for the wishes. Happy Birthday to your aunt.

Glad you enjoyed the birds. Sometimes it is not easy getting their pictures. I enjoy doing it.

Oops;I'm sorry Marilyn, I was going by what I saw on etsy.But I must admit in the back of my mind that didn't seem right based on one of your blog posts last year.

Hi Ingrid,
No problem. My Birthday is in November. I better check etsy. I must have put the wrong birthday on. Might have been thinking of my Mom when I filled everything out for that and put her birthday down instead of mine. Thank you for telling me.
