Some Cardinal Chicks Being Fed

A pair of bright orange-ish red cardinals have taken up residence in a rose bush just to the side of our tool shed in our back yard. This morning I was taking out some trash when I heard a bunch of chirping racket. When I took a look, I was surprised to see a nest with 3 to 4 chicks in it, their mouths gaping, begging for a feeding.

I figured the mama wouldn't come back around unless I wasn't around, so I set up a camera on a tripod next to their nest, and set it to record them on video.

I got some great footage of both the daddy and the mama birds feeding the chicks. If I can get the video exported correctly, I'll put it up on YouTube. To me, it's very relaxing to watch. Baby birds are definitely one of those few rare things that are both ugly and cute simultaneously.
