Searching

Within minutes after I first saw it, the cardinal fledgling disappeared from view after waddling under the rosemary plant in my garden. I never saw it again, but both parents frantically looked for this chick and possibly others for the rest of the day and into the next.






Where are they? Mama and papa cardinal seemed to be looking all over for their fledglings. I saw mama looking over both sides of the fence this morning, and just a while ago she ventured near the back door where I saw the chick’s first appearance yesterday.


I’m hoping that they find each other and no nocturnal predator or local feral cat will intervene.
