Lady Cardinal

Posted by Betty (New Jersey, United States) on 12 June 2008 in Animal & Insect.

One of the women I work with put a bird feeder outside her office window. This cardinal is in the feeder in the morning when I unlock the office doors!

Thank you for commenting. I don't always have time to answer, but I really appreciate every comment!

@rem_la: Yes, she is curious... she flies into the windows of the building most of the day! I think she sees her reflection in the glass!

@Alun Lambert: The strange thing is, you only ever see the female... never the male, not even out in the trees.

First of all, that is a great feeder.
I love the shot. The bird is looking right at us.

@Michael Rawluk: I wish it were my office, I would sit there all day and take pictures!

Chris from South Jersey, United States

Great shot and a wonderful good morning. I wonder if the bird enjoys watching you as much as you watching her?!

12 Jun 2008 10:05am

@Chris: She knew I was there, but must have been real hungry... she didn't care!

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

What a wonderful idea - I'd do that too, if I had a window in the church office. ;(
This is a great capture, Betty.

@Judy: I'm almost tempted to get one for home... as long as I can put it high enough so that the bears can't get to it!

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France

What a nice idea for brighten up your working day !!

@Evelyne Dubos: It's a very nice feeder, and stays pretty clean!

Brian from United States

lovely capture. It must be nice to have the birds come to you then for them to be found! Nice work.

12 Jun 2008 3:47pm

@Brian: Especially when you can see them so easily right through the window!

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

I really must get one of these feeders, they're a brilliant idea.
What a welcome to work, it would set me up for the day, seeing this each morning.
A great capture Betty.

@MaryB: It was ordered from wildbirds.com. It is great, I can't wait to see which birds are feeding when I come in each morning!
