Virginia



This is the welcome sign you'll see if you ever enter the state of Virginia,
it has a cardinal, because cardinals are it's state birds.
I also think that it's letting us know that we'll see cardinals all over the place.


But it's fine for me see cardinal all over the place, because I think they're beautiful!



Here in Virginia I get to enjoy cardinals and many other birds from my kitchen window.


 It's been about two years since I put up the feeders, 
so I was so surprised  to see birds eating form them right away. 
Just as if I never left!

And this year I got blessed with a cardinal nest right by my bedroom window! 

At first I thought the eggs were of a Northern Mocking Bird.
 Because when I googled "blue speckled eggs", that's what came up. 
But then when I peeked through the window I saw a female cardinal. 
I can't wait for these eggs to hatch!

  1. How exciting to have a nest so close to your home and be able to see and photograph it. It will be great seeing the new born babies. It might be a good idea to take some video of the action.
