At about six weeks old--don't know if it is a female or male?
A young northern male cardinal resembles a full grown female until it reaches maturity.
The adult male does the feeding so the female can go off and build another nest for the next brood.
It was a great treat to watch this baby grow and learn.
What a sight to watch almost on a daily routine.
It was comical to watch him figure this out!
He finally got on the top of the feeder
but didn't work out how to get to the seed.
A few days later he finally had learned to get down to where it could get the seeds for himself.
The pictures are a little distorted because the feeder is on the outside of the fence.
Happy little male cardinal!
Brave enough to come over the fence to the bird bath for a drink!
The finishing touch for this sequence was when the young female cardinal decided to display herself.
These two youngsters have been followed from the nest until now, and I'm still watching!
The little miss had no trouble getting from the tree to the feeder!
