Sometimes before gathering the peanuts I put out for them, they land on my roof and peer into my kitchen window. I guess they are curious, or checking to see who is in there. I can't figure out why they do it but it shows a level of intelligence.
Wolves are constantly under threat from listing and de-listing of their endangered species status. They are even shot and killed illegally, disrupting their family systems, and it is theorized, causing more of the problems some believe they solve by eliminating them.
These little birds are so fast and tiny it's hard to get a photo for reference. It's exciting to see them in the garden but you have to be as quick as they are.
According to Native American lore cardinals are thought to be harbingers of rain. Other tribes associate them with good fortune and sun.
These two babies just learned to fly yesterday. Now they are wondering if their wings will still work today. It's a long way down...

Many people believe seeing a Cardinal is a message from a departed loved one. I personally believe this is possible. I think loved ones send us messages if we are open to receive them.

This little fellow landed on my porch railing and cried for his mom for over two hours. I was afraid he was in need of rescue, but I also knew that a feathered fledgling is closely watched and not abandoned. Eventually he got up the nerve to fly to a near by shrub for safety. I hoped mom just lost track of time chatting with the other robins in the neighborhood, and would return soon. A few days later I saw him and his sibling and best of all there was errant mom helping them in their search for worms.
