It's hatching day for the baby Cardinals next door! Our neighbour called over and invited me to slip by and take a quick photo. Apparently, my lens was set for close-up, which is too bad. I was in a hurry to click the photo and leave the area, as the parent bird was in the bush and startled when I arrived. She left the nest (to distract me), so I was able to get a photo. I definitely saw two babies, and there could be a third. Or one may not have hatched yet and be under one of the others. They sure are NEW! They look exhausted from all the effort of busting out of the egg. I hope to try to get another photo on Monday after I'm back from Maine. That may prove more challenging with the parents guarding their brood.
