Yes, we got snow again. Maybe Mother Nature doesn't know it's April?
Anyway, with snow comes bright red cardinals. I put out lots of food for them all but the cardinals know how good they look in the snow and are the first ones to arrive.
Several years ago, I learned that Papa Red cares for the babies after they've fledged out of the nest - he is constantly gathering food and feeding them, and keeping them hidden until they can feed themselves. What a good Papa! I'm sure Mama is sharing in the duties but it's that bright red spark of color against the snow that gets the attention = so handsome!

Yes they are Rhonda (handsome) and so is your painting of him. Will we not be glad for the snow to be gone!! Yikes it has been flurrying here all day. Hugs!
Oh how I love these birds, they are so beautiful.. But the girls should have more red too.!!!
Hey Rhonda, you can't think of margaritas right now... YOU'VE GOT SNOW! You have to come south for that. !
Papa Red looks great.
Day four of rain here. Your bird brightened my morning!
nice vibrant red :)
