Northern cardinals nest in the garden behind my condo every year; it’s a good spot for them with trees, water, and food.
They stop by my porchoccasionally and I give them snacks of raisins and peanuts. For the past few days the female pictured above has been going out of her way to make sure I see her when she visits;
she flutters in front of the window or lands on the sill and looks in while chipping loudly.
