There are two cardinal babies. Both sport the charming, young-cardinal mohawk; one's beak has become orange, but the other's is still dark. They have the patchy coloring and sticky-outy feathers of the young and they come to the feeders daily. Afternoon seems to be time for the junior set at the feeders; I just saw both cardinals, the titmice pair, and our young little scrub jay all snacking and hanging about convivially.
7.5.2006: No, there are three cardinal babies! There are two with bills not yet turned; one has a striking orange mohawk, and the other's is brown. Saw them all yesterday at the feeder. Yeah, baby!
