Hanging out my bedroom window this morning provided a great deal of relaxation and resulted in a couple of decent images of my bird friends. The wet, cold rain didn't seems to bother them at all or at least didn't keep them from visiting. 

The cardinals showed up for the morning show. The midsize male was in attendance. 

His very petite female was along for breakfast as well. I never though female cardinals were much to look at until I started looking at them really closely not only through my lens but through the window where one of the the feeders hangs but 18" from these days. 

Old or just ugly this fat boy surely sticks out. His color is faded compared to the other red birds hanging out in my hood and his feathers look almost tattered.



The mourning doves are back around and soothing to listen to in the mornings and evenings. I wish I could get them to the front of the house this summer so hat I can hear them when I sit on the deck in the evenings. 



And when the rain starts falling again it's my queue for work and hers to fly for cover. Female cardinals may be my new favorite bird. I just think she is stunning.
