Hiding in the basil

Have a pair of cardinals nesting in our honeysuckle. Went out in the yard to fill feeders and the cardinals were clearly agitated; discovered a fledgling sitting in the purple basil in my husbands herb garden. Don’t think he’s been out of the nest long.

Had to take a second look, as it was blending in very well. Great shot.

Well spotted and a lovely shot. Hard to believe that it will be such a beauty one day.

He's well camouflaged - great spot for him to hide!

Good opportunity for a picture though. Hope momma finds her.

Nice hiding place.

S/he blends very well - hope she’ll survive 💕
