As I watched this lone female cardinal I wondered what was going on with her. The bird sat there for a long time as if she had no where else to be. I know there are a lot of turf wars going on around the house between the males. I am wondering if she has no mate at this point of time. I do believe nests are being built right now. I guess it makes me wonder how the ones that can't find a mate, if there ever is a chance that they don't. It seems the stray would fly around in vast areas to see if there were an available bird to make a pair.
The water bowl has proven to be a good idea as I am having many birds coming to drink and also taking baths. I can see why I need to keep filling it as a robin came by yesterday, pictures to follow tomorrow, splashing water everywhere. Two starlings sat and watched her waiting for her to quit splashing them in the face. They wanted a drink.

She is sweet, Larry. She does look lost.
