Young Cardinal
http://donnayoung.org
In between trips to the woods with a wheelbarrow full of compost material, I saw a little cardinal in a wild blueberry bush.
Front view and Side view
A little later, I wheeled another load of materials to the compost piles and saw the parents of the bird. The female cardinal was on the ground with the small cardinal and the male cardinal was in the trees hopping around on the branches and calling to her "Danger Danger!" probably.
I hurried to tend to the compost and got out of their way.

I am glad Papa Cardinal was on the lookout for unsavory characters.
