Description
This Northern Cardinal nest is well hidden in a bushy cedar tree. I needed a step ladder to get a good view of the three nestlings, which are really packed into the small nest. The mom and dad were in the nearby trees softly chirping their concerns.

I Need Some ID, Please! You Are NOT A N. Cardinal!
Oh no, is that a cowbird baby?
Hi Robin,
Don’t worry, this is not a cowbird chick! I wrote the title and caption as if the Cardinal Nestling was questioning me – as I looked into the nest to take the photo! Sorry for the confusion.
Oh, thanks for letting me know. Cute pic!
