Cardinal Family

I was fortunate to spend a bit of time with this group of Northern Cardinals as they went about their routine of raising a family.
I do not generally photograph nesting birds to avoid any disruption to them in the natural order of things as there is always the possibility
of alerting predators or causing the birds to abandon the nest. These images were taken well away from the nest with a 500mm lens and the Cardinals
went about their tasks without paying any mind to my presence in the yard. I hope you enjoy our morning with the family...
