Howllo Fellow Hound and cardinal lovers. Yesterday I notice a small dark bird that landed on my back porch and thought to myself that it looked like a baby cardinal. I thought nah, it couldn’t be. Then her sibling landed next to her. A bright red baby boy cardinal! KOOOOL! I was totally jazzed until I saw that they were trying to eat dirt. Ahhhh, poor babies.

Then guess who flies up? Mommy. She starts pecking around in the flower box and I am just about to cry when none other than Daddy lands. A giant beautiful big red boy. Now they are all pecking around like a bunch of dirt dogs.

So, I enlist my Dad to go get bird seed pronto! He flies out the door like a hungry bird and is back in no time. I haven’t seen the family since. I am now going to worry.

I think the big Daddy was the same guy who I photographed on my birthday this year.

I think birds like my back yard because of the dogs. We have a fair amount of cats that roam at large and well, you know.

I have had the same bird families year after year. I noticed yesterday that when big daddy flew up he looked down to see if the hounds were on the porch. It happens in an instant.

Well the flower box troth is filled with goodies. I think you can see the rye bread I crumpled up for them and there is plenty of bird seed.

I think they live in the big bush to the right. Looks pretty warm and comfy to me.

I will keep you all posted.

Dinner’s ready – come and get it!

More pretty birds later…….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Oh those babies were so cute.
