The Cardinal Family

During the spring, a pair of cardinals built their nest outside one of our windows.  After the eggs hatched, I enjoyed watching the babies grow and mature.  The photos were taken over the course of several days through a “not so clean” window, so they did not turn out to be the quality that I had wished, but hopefully the care and devotion  shown by this cardinal family will make up for the quality of the photos.
