A day in the life

 

…of a northern cardinal.  The pictures I sent out a couple days ago were of a female northern cardinal.

 

Here is a male.

 

Quietly partaking of some seed.

 

A rival for the goodies arrives.  The cardinal goes on high alert.

 

The rival (a red-winged blackbird) launches an attack to drive the food competitor away.

 

No success.  The cardinal continues to eat.

 

 

The blackbird relocates to neutral ground.

 

 

Relative status settled.
