This cardinal was walking around the leaves and seem to be looking for nesting materials. Now I have to do some research to see if the male birds help build the nest. If any of you know the answer, please share.
Awesome ....love his color and detail. I don't know much about cardinals but would love to see one. This image is so striking. Is it selective coloring or just natural. It is so vibrant!
@espyetta Hi Marybeth, I did check and it said the males look for food and care for the the babies, sometimes they sit on the eggs and they defend the nest but it sounds like the females build the nest. That was just one source though. If they do everything else it seems like they would help build the nest too. Sounds like they have good teamwork. Thanks for your comment.
@eyesmile Hi Gena thanks for your kind comment. This is not selective color. The cardinal was just walking around old leaves and no spring growth has occurred in that area.
