HI Bruce,

Someone please stop viewing Momma Cardnial! I can't get through to see her or the chicks! I promise that I'll only watch her for a minute or two. Thanks,  Ann

(sorry Ann... it's been minimized on my desk all day at work... me bad.... )

Bruce, make it Cuban Vanilla! :D

OMG! she's such a doting mom!  Everytime she tries to settle/sit in the nest to protect the babes and keep them warm, I think someone is "poking" her from underneath cuz then, she jumps up!  She's protecting them, keeping warm and OMG, she is feeding them in such a way, brings tears to my eyes. Oh, the joys of mother nature! Bruce, thank you (and the folks at camstreams) for sharing this with us! :)

Ok, baby announcement!

Momma Cardinal would like to annouce the arrival of twin... um... boys... girls... boy/girl...er... birds on (or about) June 20th in the early hours.  The twins weigh in at...er.... less an 2 oz(?) and are a length of.....er... .um..... petite.  Grandfather is Mr. Brucifer of GA and the twins have many aunts and uncles based on the AN Discussion forum website.  Momma and babies are healthy and fine


(gawd, someone else come up with one better, will ya?)

After spending the last few days being constantly "poked at" by my little ones I can feel for her lack of ability to rest.  Never any downtime for a new mom!  ;-)

Mama Cardinal and I both really need a nap.  Or perhaps I'm just projecting onto her a bit...   ;)

Hi Bruce,

Thanks everyone for letting me get a chance to see Momma Cardnial! She is just so cute. I promise I will not stay on long so I can give others a chance to see her. Thanks again Bruce, this has been fun!  Ann

Hi Bruce,

It is just amazing how instinctive birds are (as well as all animals)!  I've been watching her take care of her chicks for a few minutes.  I also can't believe that they hatched right on time.  Thanks so much Bruce for letting us all get a peak at mother nature's miracle.  I'll be watching over the next 10 days like everyone else.  By the way, it's around 7 pm, and I had no trouble logging on.

Thank you for sharing...it makes me smile every time!  Even with my old-fashioned dial-up, I could see little mouths wanting to be fed.  Amazing!

Hi Bruce,
Did you move the webcam today?  It seems to be closer to the nest and if I didn't know better it seems to be freaking out momma. Is this my imagination? Oh and I can see the little ones  they are so cute.

We saw the FAther (bright red) check in this afternoon.  He gave the mum some food.  They were each feeding the babes.
Either food is scarce or the mum knows how much they need to get their own strength and motivation to forage.  These babes want a hand out constantly.

Hey Grandpa Bruce,

Your "Momma" bird didn't appear to be feeding both of her babies! One looks stronger than the other and it was the stronger one that got fed! Both babies were begging for food, and she just watched them! I couldn't watch anymore! I felt helpless! Can you sneak them some food?? Please??
