Male Cardinal Fledgling
Mom & Dad Cardinal live in my yard and this is one of their fledglings. This was the first time I had seen the fledgling come to the feeder without Mom.

Daddy Cardinal
We had setup a feeder in our balcony. After few weeks male female cardinals were regular visitors 2-3 times a day along with Blue Jay, Dove and Northern Mocking birds. After one week we observed Cardinal with fledglings. We observed feeding behavior with both male and female cardinals feeding fledglings. They might have setup their nest in our Apartments but we did not find their nest.
I took this shot from stairs near balcony.
