Mr. C DSC_2241
Since Lady B. (Eastern Bluebird) was requesting extra space and privacy for nest building yesterday; this is the one shot I managed to get while out with the camera. I had to go out and refill the feeding stations, otherwise I would have stayed out of her way altogether. Boy oh boy, Lady B can be a cranky beauty when she wants to.
As you can see Mr. C (Male Northern Cardinal) was very pleased when I placed peanuts on the palm stump. The old stump was removed but it was time to remove another palm that was interfering with the growth of oak one, so now I have a new palm stump to use as a feeding station.
One might belive that Mr. and Mrs. C. stands for male and female cardinal. Truly, that's a pretty good hypothesis. However, in my yard the cardinals were named after Howard and Marion Cunningham, from the TV sitcom Happy Days. The Fonz, also a character on the show, nicknamed the Cunningham's Mr. and Mrs. C. I'm not sure why, but the female cardinal reminds me of Marion's character. Therefore, I began calling her by that name and Howard received his name because he goes with her.
I hope your experiences today are pleasant. Happy snapping :)
