“Dinner Time !”
A Father Northern Cardinal feeding his baby boy who isn’t much of a baby anymore. This was photographed about a week ago and during the past few days I’ve seen the parents letting their kids fend for themselves more.
The Dad appears to be just starting his late summer molt as cardinals lose their feathers to be replaced with new ones which help them stay vibrant and warm during the winter months.
