From the empty nest
Three cardinal eggs were laid
Two flew away
~~~~~~~
Mom and Dad cardinal built this fragile nest in a rose bush next to the house. We saw them flying in and out of the bush tending to the wee ones. There were three fledglings in the nest but only two flew away. One morning we saw on had landed on the patio in the sun. Ron picked him up and put him back in the nest. Mom came and teneded to him. He was found again under the patio table. Again he was returned to the nest chirping away. Finally, that evening we went outside to sit in the cool air, only to find the wee on had passed. He was lying under the tree in the shade. Such a sad ending to a story of hope. Hope we must all have that hadn't we. I do HOPE so.
