Juvenile Northern Cardinals

The dozen or so juvenile Northern Cardinals are growing and maturing.  Although there are still a couple of fledglings that are being fed by their parents, the juveniles feed themselves at our bird feeders. 


I've observed that they're quite sassy with others at the feeders...
like a group of children fighting over a few pieces of candy.


It seems they watch and wait for fresh bird seed- each time I put fresh seed out,
they all suddenly appear, within just a few minutes.


Silly birds...they're so often entertaining.



I hope everyone has a great start to this new week!
