Description

The female cardinal has been putting nest material in other places. Is this normal for starting several “nests?” And why?

    The cardinal is hard to see in first pic. Click on the picture to enlarge it and you may see it. Built for camouflage!

    Nice!! There are a lot of cardinals in our yard, and I found a pair building a nest too!
