A Deck of Cardinals

The cardinals are still displaying their beauty. We continue to run across them in numbers. There was three males in this little patch of shrubs (see the last photo). Just gorgeous.

What is the noun used for a group of cardinals? According to iBirds,) , an app I use to identify and learn more about birds (that is an App Store link), its one of many nouns: a “college”, “conclave”, “deck”, “radiance”, or a “vatican” of cardinals. Interesting.

Don’t Mind The Cold

The weather has been wet and cold. That does not seem to slow down the Downy Woodpeckers. From the spot where I shot this photo, I saw at least three of them. I guess they don’t mind the cold.

Small.Fast.Paranoid

This is a Tufted Titmouse. Yes, this is a very small bird, that is very fast, and totally paranoid. They are actually considered a ‘large’ Titmouse, but in the scale of things, it is a very small bird, and constantly on the move. I usually only see them in the winter months.

A Bluebird Hangout!

On Monday we saw a large number of Eastern Bluebirds. At about this same time of year that I last saw this many of them .. near the same location. Of course, we went back the next day ... not a single bluebird.

Introducing Mr and Mrs ..

We did not see any cardinals for months, and then this last few days we have seen a large number of them. This happy couple was hanging out at the Stillwater Prairie Reserve this week. So cool. I am actually not sure this is the couple because we saw so many of them. That said, these two were together, so I assume this is a couple.
