I've been watching three male cardinals chase each other around for days. They come in chasing each other like they own the place. After a few rounds around the yard they all comply and seem to agree there is enough for all of them. They settle for dinner at the same feeder. It must be a tough decision for the female who seems to wait for them to finish with their game before she settles in

Watching it soar in the air
following its instincts...
following its mama...
practicing its call brought me to tears.
There is so much to learn in this short season.
