Howllo Fellow Hound and Cardinal Family Lovers:

Well, I just got home a few hours ago. I was gone all day with a group of girls I “play” bridge with. We just really never got the hang of it, but we do our best to eat and drink our way through it! LOL

When I got home Grandpa and Grandma were sitting with the kids. Of course Grandpa does most of the sitting and giving treats and Grandma does most of everything else. They are just the best.

Anyway, when I got back to my office to check on my e-mails I heard a bunch of chirping! OMG!

It was the baby girl cardinal……….

This picture was taken from my desk chair on zoom through a door and a screen door. However, I think she is saying thank you! We locked eyes!

She was pecking and pecking like there was no tomorrow and chirping and chirping trying to alert the family that she found the secret stash. Then her brother showed up!

As you can tell it is getting dusk. I did not get a picture of big Daddy or Mommy but they made it for dinner. It was too dark and I did not want to disturb them. Big Daddy was calling Mommy in for her meal and she flew in. All 4 of them ate for about 3 minutes and then all 4 of them flew off!

Everyone is accounted for. It is going to be -15 tonight and I worry for their safety, but I bet that family has a plan. Hopefully, they have some of Chaps and Emma’s undercoat in their nest. Goodness gracious we have gigantic loads of it floating around. It would be so soft and warm.

Sorry for the poor quality pics, but you can at least see the babies!

More family album pictures later………..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
