Mrs. Cardinal

A couple days ago, I discovered that there is a lady cardinal nesting right outside our kitchen window. We have been leaving that window closed and trying to leave her in peace as much as possible. So this is not a picture of our cardinal, but it looks a lot like her. I can mainly see her beak, as the rest of her body is camouflaged. It rained last night, and I peeked out at her, hunched down on the nest in the rain.

We have a pair (or two?) of cardinals that appear to be living in the cedars behind our house. It is nice to have splashes of red as they fly around. We also have a mourning dove nest resting on a curvature in the down spout outside our kitchen and the mom makes quite a racket during the day.
