--Boundary_(ID_NZUQpYAa1iwzLM4o704NRQ) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT JUNE 16, 2011 - Brenda and Bill Thexton of east Wolfville report that, two days ago (June 14/11) their regular male n. cardinal brought two fledged youngsters with dark beaks to their feeding tray. Presumably their regular female is busy now starting their second attempt at nesting. And the male tending fledglings seems to be normal for cardinals, and makes good sense as part of a breeding strategy to maximize the number of attempts during a breeding season. The Thextons also noticed a difference (sexual?) between the fledglings: one of them has some red colour in the breast area (male?). Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. --Boundary_(ID_NZUQpYAa1iwzLM4o704NRQ) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"5" style=3D"font: 20.0px Helvetica"><b>JUNE = 16, 2011</b> - </font><span class=3D"Apple-style-span" = style=3D"font-size: 20px; ">Brenda and Bill Thexton of east Wolfville = report that, two days ago (June 14/11) their regular <b>male n. cardinal = brought two fledged youngsters</b> with dark beaks to their feeding = tray.
