Do you see her?
Just above dead center in the photo, Ethel, our resident Cardinal mom is sitting on their new nest.
For the past few years, we have enjoyed watching a pair of Cardinals that we named Fred and Ethel raise their babies every spring.
The hard freeze this year caused the Azaleas in the front yard to lose all their leaves, so they moved to the back yard and built a new nest in the Dwarf Gardenias along the back of the garage.
Once she moved into the nest, Ethel only leaves for a few minutes once or twice a day. I caught her eating once and peeked at the nest - she had three eggs, light turquoise with brown spots.
