Hello All,

I noticed this yesterday but wasn't completely sure, but this morning I now see 4 juvenile Cardinals! I notice though, that 2 of the 4 look younger, especially with the colour of their beaks. Whereas 2 of the 4 have beaks that are getting pinkish, the 2 new ones beaks are dark. Am wondering if these 2 could be from the same brood but maturing later or if perhaps there was more than one nest. I still have only seen one adult male Cardinal and have not seen any adult female for quite some time.
Anyway, these beautiful birds a delightful presence in my backyard!!

Sincerely,

Gayle MacLean
