Courting Cardinals

I heard rustling and scratching outside my office window.  There in the bushes were a pair of cardinals, fluttering around and courting.  The male had a mouthful of something which he passed to the female.  Aww!  <3

EDIT 5/24/17:  Also today I spotted an indigo bunting perched on the pot hanger above the barrel garden.

Awww. Cardinals are so cute they can be hard to take seriously.

Mine have stopped nesting near where the cats hang out, moved into a taller tree, but they still eat rose hips and such in the yard and sing "Cheer, cheer, cheer" all winter.
