A Male Cardinal in my Sycamore Tree

My day has been made. I managed to get a photo of a male cardinal. The father to the eggs I found a few days ago. He was perched on a limb in my sycamore tree. The nest is close by. In a few days the babies will be flying away. I am still trying to get another look at the nest. So far the parents have been sitting on the nest. As they should be. But I will continue trying. Hopefully I will see them hopping around in the yard once they fledge.

I love watching the birds including the cardinals. My robin is nesting right outside the family room. I have a bird’s eye view.

You may need to fly a small plane to there to get your picture,

, jk. My friends had a sycamore tree but it never did very well maybe it's made more for warmer weather?

I wish we had them here but it's way too hot here for many birds.

The male is a bright red color. The female is a isn-rust color with a red beak and a few strakes of red feathers.
