Good morning
I am new to this site and hope I am posting this correctly. Hello to everyone.
Sadly our female cardinal died after hitting a window. The male cardinal sang from the treetops for 10 days and seems to have now left the area, probably looking for a new mate. It is April now and prime breeding season. It breaks my heart that they made it through a cold, nasty winter to die this way. I hope to see the male return with a new mate.

Hi GMargBirdlover and a warm welcome from me too.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.

It's always very sad to lose a creature you've been watching for so long. I used to see a Kestrel hunting every day when I drove to work and was devastated to see it lying dead in the road one morning.

Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone.
I am a wildlife lover, especially the birds. My husband says I get too involved but I cant help it. I love watching the birds now that I am retired. It definitely is a hobby for me.
I have been trying to keep the starlings out of our nuthatch house. Oh brother, this is a full time job!
