Saturday Critters ~ 330 ~

Mr. & Mrs. Northern Cardinal....they are always together!




I think Cardinals are the most recognized birds at the bird feeders,
both sexes are very beautiful.
Their song is an insistent series of rich, fluty whistles,
"tiu-tiu-tiu-tiu" or "p'dee-p'dee-p'dee-p'dee", 
it's call is a sharp tik.
I usually hear them before I see them, and I see them at my feeders year round.
I think they are so much cuter with their "tops" up!

Hello Debbie, love your beautiful Cardinals.. I used to think the Cardinal was singing "pretty, pretty pretty." I am so pretty. Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, stay well! Enjoy your weekend, Happy Easter! PS, thank you for the visit and comment on my blog.

The Cardinals are especially beautiful with the evergreen in the background. We're watching the birds from the windows a lot more now! Take care and stay well!

They are too cute, I hear ours before I see them too, the other day when it was warm they were talking up a storm, probably saying they wanted us to go back in the house so they could eat in peace :)
Hope you have a lovely Easter!

I was a Harrold Cardinal in school, but never saw one until college. I hear they have something to do with the memory of a loved one. I believe it, because we saw one when we went to visit m father-in-law's grave. Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing.
