Cardinals

Third Little Head Pops Up

That stick is not as close to its eye as it looks. I got one shot of the third one when it popped its head up briefly and panted a little. Love seeing such a smart location for this nest. Later in the day I saw both parents fly out of the rose bush so species was confirmed.
