    I suspect my pair is well beyond the courting stage; they’re acting like frazzled parents, making multiple visits to the feeders each day. Whether they’re tending eggs or hatchlings I can’t say, but I love seeing them.

    What a sweet couple. We have a pair, too. I saw 2 males yesterday. A pair of Bluebirds, yesterday afternoon…hadn’t seen them since March 7th.

      Rivalries are spiking, but with multiple feeders, they manage to get enough to eat. While there are at least 3 pairs of both species, they have dispersed farther than in winter.

  15. What a serendipitous capture! Both birds are super photogenic.

  24. Rebecca's avatar Rebecca says:

    Beautiful colors! We have a pair that builds a nest in our back yard each year. It’s a joy to watch them.

  25. tomwhelan's avatar tomwhelan says:

    They look great together – lovely plumage.

  26. Have you seen the Merlin app? I have been enjoying it. Cardinals are here too – that was a lucky shot!

  27. Jet Eliot's avatar Jet Eliot says:

    Wonderful photo, Eliza! I love how you captured this calm moment and the beautiful cardinal pair.

  28. Jane Lurie's avatar Jane Lurie says:

    So sweet. Love cardinals.

  29. I think many people don’t realize that the bright red familiar cardinal is the male, and that the female is less colorful.

  30. Maria's avatar Maria says:

    This is such a lovely photo!

  31. Chloris's avatar Chloris says:

    Beautiful birds. Well done on the shot, like butterflies, they just won’t sit still nicely to be photographed.

  32. Everyone around here has that on their mind lol
