Hi Susan and everyone. My heart was just about in my throat when I found a Cardinal juvie lying dead on my back yard this afternoon. Just before lunch I may have seen it near the feeder being fed by its Papa. I'm so crushed. There is no obvious trauma wound so it may as well be pure accidental prone.

Chris, those little birds they seem to have a keen instinct to protect their youngs. Look at the nook and crannies that they find to build their nest to keep their broods out of the "wheather" so to speak. But like most living beings, there is no full proof or guarantee is there?

Currently I've some Carolina Wrens who insist to go into my garage to build nest. Little do they know that could be a trap door when we're not around. They can be trapped indoor. Sigh!!!

Susan, I still think it would be so nice if we were neighbors. Take care, have a safe July 4th to all my birding friends.
