The juvenile, you can see the plumes that are left from the swans past injury. He is still very handsome and looks very fit and strong.:nod:

I spent an afternoon with my daughter walking through her wooded property. It is a wonderful area to see birds and these are a few that I photographed.

Video I recorded of male Northern Cardinals singing and calling their mates.

Female Cardinal, I do believe this is a yearling.

I will close with the true sign of Springtime around the corner, these Daffodils that I saw growing along the road.
