Default Looky at what I discovered this morning

A cardinal nest complete with baby cardinals!
I noticed that a hen would flew from that area everytime I walked by so I started looking and this is what I found. I also found that from inside my mother-in-laws house, you can see right into the nest. I'm going to try to get more pics from there, might even be able to catch the parents feeding them. Papa bird was feeding them when I came back with my camera, he scolded me but went ahead and fed. Maybe from inside the house I can hide enough they can't see me. Gonna try.

We have one cardinal around my house the last few years. I think it might have been someone's pet that got loose.

Space, which member are you talking about. The first pic in your post is only coming up as a red X. I can see the toucan in the attached pic though.
