Cardinal Hatching
Two images of a cardinal partially hatched, initial signs of hatching attempts in other eggs. Nest is in gardenia bush on my back deck, about 18″ from my glass slider. Mamma is still getting used to me being around.

Northern Cardinal nest
Cardinal nest with four eggs. They are located in our backyard on top of our arbor trellis, which is covered in honeysuckle.
Northern Cardinal Hatchlings
When we last checked on the eggs 12 hours ago they were unhatched. This morning we have 3 fresh hatchlings! Note that one of them has wet fluff while the other two have dry fluff, so it must be very recently hatched.
Northern Cardinal Eggs
3 eggs, 13 and 14 days after they were laid.
Northern Cardinal Nest in Holly Tree
Found this Nest because female flew off it as I walked by from my front door.
My back yard is wooded & has had 4-6+ cardinal pairs for a couple years.
Foster Parenting

Serial Killer Blue Jay on the loose!
We have a serial killer blue jay in our midst.
I witnessed him several times throughout the day flying about with unknown hatchlings in his beak. Then I had the unfortunate chance to witness him stealing the first of the newly hatched Northern Cardinals from the nest I’ve been monitoring and posting photos of here. And despite the best efforts of mom and dad, the Blue Jay had emptied the Cardinal nest of all three hatchlings by days end. Dad Cardinal still seems awfully disturbed by this, even the next day, as he keeps hanging out by the nest giving off feeding time chirps. Sad day all around.
Hatched-3 Northern Cardinals
3 little Northern Cardinals, freshly hatched in a thorny bush right outside our front door, just in time for Mother’s Day.

Dinner Time!
Three fledgling Cardinals left my backyard nest four days prior to this photo. I could hear them in the area and kept seeing the adults, but had not seen the fledglings until I was lucky enough to snap this picture.

Male Northern Cardinal Feeds three 4-day old chicks
The nest is located in a small shrub directly outside my living room window. I was lucky in that the sun reflecting off my window helped illuminate this shot which I shot through the window. The male and female parents however can see me in the window and get agitated if I get too close when taking photos so I have to stay back and zoom in from farther away.

My cat found this nest in a shrub in my backyard; I can’t tell if it is an adult or a baby; I am thinking an adult because it is so calm. I thought most likely a cardinal, but the beak is so bright orange and the head is so smooth. Cat will be staying inside for a while.

Cardinal Nest
I work on the 2nd Floor of my building, this nest was built in a dogwood tree right outside my window. I was able to witness the nest being built to the birds leaving the nest. I brought my camera to work, unfortunately this is not a window that opens so I took the pictures through the glass. What an wonderful experience this was.
